… The most recent stage in this ongoing collaboration<br />
[between CCW and ING] focuses on The Baring<br />
Archive. For this phase, research staff from CCW’s<br />
Graduate School have been joined by invited colleagues;<br />
the artist, Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Lubaina Himid (University<br />
<strong>of</strong> Central Lancashire), and the art historian,<br />
Dr Ge<strong>of</strong>f Quilley (University <strong>of</strong> Sussex). The group’s<br />
investigations have led to illuminating juxtapositions<br />
between newly created works and the original<br />
collection, shown in May 2010 at ING in an exhibition<br />
entitled re:SEARCHING: Playing in the Archive.<br />
They have also drawn attention to the construction <strong>of</strong><br />
the archive itself, raising questions about the underlying<br />
choices <strong>of</strong> what has been considered important to<br />
preserve and the methods used in conserving it. By<br />
uncovering hidden narratives embedded in the artefacts,<br />
new avenues <strong>of</strong> interpretation have opened up,<br />
directly relating to the activities <strong>of</strong> Barings over its<br />
long and fascinating history. The notion <strong>of</strong> ‘playing’<br />
in the archive, and the desire to make historical<br />
evidence physically present, were important to all the<br />
researchers engaged in the project and involved quite<br />
different methodologies to those employed by most<br />
financial and social historians. The Currency <strong>of</strong> Art<br />
celebrates the current phase <strong>of</strong> the collaboration and<br />
looks towards its potential developments. It should<br />
be seen as a catalyst to provoke debate across the arts,<br />
curatorial practice, finance and banking about the<br />
values underpinning these relationships as they were<br />
formed in the past, and as an invitation to speculate<br />
about their possible shape in the future. …<br />

… Our research activities are well-established, diverse,<br />
specialist and grounded in the broad portfolio<br />
<strong>of</strong> art and design subjects represented by our taught<br />
course programmes. They frequently <strong>of</strong>fer new and<br />
challenging ways <strong>of</strong> thinking about how specific<br />
disciplines can share common concerns and questions.<br />
Issues surrounding the practice, theoretical and<br />
historical contexts <strong>of</strong> Fine Art, Design, Conservation,<br />
Theatre and Performance are developed and interrogated<br />
through a focused research approach <strong>of</strong> contemporary<br />
relevance that leads to tangible outcomes<br />
and impact.<br />
The Graduate School programme hosted by CCW,<br />
along with the activities <strong>of</strong> research centres and<br />
networks, provide a rich calendar <strong>of</strong> events to inform<br />
and enhance the broader course and college-based<br />
activities. This echoes our commitment to ensuring that<br />
our individual and group research activity has a<br />
direct impact within the colleges as well as externally.<br />
We are particularly interested in research proposals<br />
that address individually, collectively or in tandem<br />
the four current Graduate School themes <strong>of</strong> Social<br />
engagement, environment, Identities and Technologies.<br />
The identification <strong>of</strong> a number <strong>of</strong> key thematic lines <strong>of</strong><br />
enquiry is primarily intended to identify a context over<br />
and above individual research interests, where there<br />
may be some common ground and a space for<br />
cross-disciplinary dialogue. The themes also reflect<br />
a grow ing collective awareness amongst our<br />
research commu nities for identifying some <strong>of</strong> the more<br />
urgent social, political, economic and cultural<br />
agendas <strong>of</strong> our time, and the need to address them<br />
through innovative and creative responses. …<br />
