Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Since the early 2000s a major shift occured in art practices: more involvement of artists with local 'communities' and participation in the process of creativity - what N. Bourriaud called 'relational aesthetics'. Moreover, ethnographic field research has become another artistic practice in that context, a topic centrally discussed by Arnd Schneider and Chris Wirght.

The seminar will investigate several issues and works of such art approaches.

Assessment and permitted materials

Marking will be based on:

- The quality of personal research;

- The final paper;

- Final presentation;

- Active participation in discussions

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- To get acquainted with such approaches;

- To understand the impact of such art practices in our present times;

- Training in scholarly debates.

Examination topics

- Interactive Teaching.

- Students will be encouraged to creatively research and reflect issues.

Reading list

- Basic literature will be distributed during the first session;
