Speak with Confidence about Contemporary Art Enrich your vocabulary and understanding of the art around us via this rich blend of thought-provoking videos, questions and ideas.

Many people find the language around contemporary art daunting, while the art objects themselves can be mystifying. What is ‘contemporary’ art? How does it differ from the art of previous generations? How can we approach it, begin to discuss it, and form opinions and ideas about it? How is contemporary art made and where is it displayed? How is it validated, bought and sold? How do we begin to draw meanings from it and make it relevant to our own lives and experiences?

This self-directed course will address such questions (and demystify key concepts) by modelling conversations in four twentyminute filmed interviews with art world practitioners. Lizzie Perrotte, experienced educator and highly skilled communicator, provides an approach to discussing contemporary art. Artist Ann Carrington, whose work has been acquired by museums such as the V&A and collectors like Gwyneth Paltrow, discusses her inspirations, how she makes her work, and how an artist views commissions,

collections and exhibitions. Victoria Pomery OBE, director of Turner Contemporary, talks about the social and cultural value of contemporary art, and how contemporary galleries can lead to economic regeneration.

Christie’s London’s head of the PostWar and Contemporary Art Evening Sale, Tessa Lord, explores the sale of contemporary art and explains the terminology used by galleries and auction houses.

The course will guide you through these interviews, encourage you in your analysis of them, and provide you with questions and ways of thinking that you can apply to the wider contemporary art world in your future conversations.
