Visual Arts

The BA explores the transformations of contemporary art practices, connecting art with the production and social contexts and enabling students to experiment with a variety of environments, techniques and methods, reinterpreting and expanding the traditional academic approach.

Founded in 2006, the MA combines a solid training in the artistic production with a specialised curatorial practice, exploring the relationship among art, visual culture, aesthetics, and social dynamics to produce new training and operating models in the international contemporary art system.

The Master provides the students with the most effective tools to interpret the art market structures and dynamics, with a particular focus on contemporary artistic languages, and provides study trips to Artissima in Turin and Art Basel, the sector’s most important fairs.

The Master prepares the students for their entrance into the world of photography, arts, and national and international communication, aiming to train groundbreaking professionals in contemporary photography: photographers, curators and editors.

The Master provides the students with a cross-disciplinary methodological approach as well as the needed tools to fulfil the most urgent issues related to landscape, environmental protection, biodiversity and sustainability, by connecting artistic creativity, design practice and scientific knowledge.

The Academic Master trains professionals for one of the key roles in the management of artistic and cultural assets: the registrar and collection specialist. Combining theory, workshops and an internship, it develops skills in cataloguing, legislation, logistics and conservation of artworks and luxury objects, preparing graduates to work in museums, galleries, collections, art fairs and luxury companies.
