Course content

The course intends to build bridges between the art historical, aesthetic and museological theory and the daily workshop practices of the student. So, contemporary sculpture and in situ3 practices get their specific references that will help the student to position his/her own work and its development. Current events like an interesting collection or exhibition, a news event or a study trip with the workshop or in the context of this course will be directly involved and so provided by a theoretical background by the professor. Each student is expected to participate in an active way. Students are allowed to make suggestions to tread a specific subject in class. Depending on the needs of each subject, class is divided into a lecture part, activating moments such as discussion, seminar moments and study visits.

Study material (text): Mandatory

At the start of the course the programme is announced, as it changes each year depending on actuality and need e.g. subjects that are part of the workshop practice of the students. PowerPoint Presentations with images, text and bibliography with specialised literature on each class are available on the electronic learing platform. For each student a detailed description of the assignments on paper, including a basic bibliography and other tools are provided.
