RESEARCH

The Gallery will provide a public window into the excellent research undertaken in Arts and beyond.  As well as contributing to the wider University community and culture, Gallery North is public facing, working with and being part of the network of arts organisations in the city, region and beyond.

Through critical examination and innovative forms of practice, research in the Department of Arts is united by strong principles of social engagement through creativity, collaboration, participation, and cross-and interdisciplinarity.These principles shape distinctive research practices which include investigations of transglobal exchange in visual and material cultures; fine art conservation; experimental forms of exhibition making and curation; studies and production of moving image and examinations of popular media; and the socio-political ‘spaces’ of theatre and performance.
