Course content

Extra Academy is the spontaneous alliance of Extra City Kunsthal Antwerpen and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and Sint-Lucas Antwerpen. It involves close collaboration with a network of guests and students. Extra Academy is a small-scale structural platform ‘in progress', offering different tools and trajectories as a supplement to - or disturbance of - academic models and reflexes. Its open program of lectures, performances, workshops, exhibitions and screenings is designed to trigger alternative questions about modes of knowledge production, of research and practice. It probes gaps and unexpected solutions, teasing out the point where ideas materialize, where they are confronted with their palpable consequences. It believes that theory is not an allegory of practice. Extra Academy listens, looks, asks and wonders. It collects and distributes conversations, it inquires about the educational turn in the arts and about the turn that will dislodge it, while providing time and space for a plasticity of ideas to manifest themselves.
