The Open University
Tate has collaborated for a number of years with The Open University at the level of both research and teaching. The collaboration has led to student study days and to conferences and other public events. Organised by Tate Modern and the Department of Art History at The Open University, the study days typically focus on the themes of exhibitions at Tate Modern. The programme has included Matisse and Picasso: Creating and Destroying Histories (June 2002); Abstraction and Interpretation (October 2002); Art and Photography (June 2003), Expanding Concepts of Sculpture (March 2004), and Concepts of the Avant-Garde (June 2004). The study days are webcast for the benefit of students outside of London, and later contextualized with bibliographic references and other study-aids to form on-line learning resources. Conferences and public events have included The Visibility of Women’s Practice (Tate Britain with the Department of Art History, May 2003); Photography and the Limits of the Document (Tate Modern with the Pavis Centre for Social and Cultural Research, June 2003); Nature, Space, Society debates (Tate Modern with the Department of Geography, March 2004).
