… 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 />
