This unit introduces Master of Fine Arts students to the processes of research, including how to develop a research proposal into a research paper and abstract, and how to contextualise the research project in relation to current concerns in contemporary art, theory, philosophy and history. Through weekly seminars the unit builds on students' existing knowledge of research by focusing on how to select and apply research methodologies in order to achieve the goals of the research and develop appropriate strategies for planning and writing.

This unit provides a critical environment for discussion and debate around a range of twenty first century exhibition practices, and assists Master of Fine Arts students with the practical skills required for exhibition concept and design. The weekly seminars address the current professional exhibition possibilities for exhibiting artwork, including artist run spaces, museums and regional galleries, virtual galleries and social networking environments. Students also examine the range of publishing formats that surround exhibitions, and explore practical exhibition design, through a range of 2D and 3D design software that assists the design, planning and visualisation of exhibitions.

In both their studios and formal presentations students will reflect on the development of their own work and the work of their peers, clarify ideas and future directions, develop presentation skills, receive critical feedback, investigate the intersection of their creative work with theoretical or historic research threads.

The unit introduces PhD students to a range of philosophical approaches to creative arts research, and conceptual issues concerning the production of new knowledge in practice-led research and also within research more broadly. Students will consider how different methodological approaches may be appropriate for particular interpretive research projects, keeping in mind the epistemological 'fit', and develop appropriate strategies for planning and writing.
