About Printmaking MA, MA - at Middlesex University

Overview MA Printmaking at MDX is designed as a point of convergence for anyone who wishes to see print as a broad cultural space, a core element of our everyday experience of the world and a channel for the visual communication of your narratives. Here you will be encouraged to step across perceived barriers that traditionally separate disciplines, frames of reference, working methods, means of production and dissemination and come together within an intergenerational and intersectional collective of practitioners, animated by their deep interest towards all manifestations of 'making through print'. Whichever your point of departure or the set destination of your thinking and making, we welcome you within this print-centred learning environment where you will be guided to develop your own unique approach and position through practical work, tailored research and a critical understanding of your practice. Why study Printmaking at Middlesex University? The driving force of this programme is its positioning within the expanded field of printmaking practice and thinking. It engages with wider critical and cultural debates that understand print as embracing a multitude of positions cutting across art practice, craft, technology, social engagement and research. Printmaking is understood as part of a visual culture of printed matter embracing at the same time traditional skills, technological innovations and the digital revolution; in these contexts, artworks can be understood as part of much wider systems of production of cultural objects and their analysis as evidence of social, political and cultural narratives in a changing world. By paying attention to the tradition of making within visual culture and its importance as our culture becomes increasingly dematerialised, this MA Printmaking can afford broad latitudes of expertise, ambitions and opportunities for our students and their future beyond the course. MA Printmaking is flexibly designed to meet the ambitions of students from a wide range of creative backgrounds and previous expertise, with an inclusive approach to all those who wish to employ the broad variety of 'print making' as their main strategic production asset. Its main drive is to work towards a clear position within your individual artistic practice, supported by the MA cohort, tutora and the wider university, with the aim of developing a final body of work, produced to a high standard of technical expertise and intellectual rigour and with an appropriate dissemination strategy. You will be encouraged to actively use the MA to forge your own path. You will be taught by visual culture academics and printmaking professionals in the world-class facilities and specialist workshops in our £80 million Grove building, the home of arts and creative industries at Middlesex.
