Content description

Artistic approaches that address social challenges are very popular. For example, inclusive communities are being promoted (see documenta 15) or AI, digitization, and climate justice are being reflected in intersections with the arts (see recent Kunstforum publications).

Artists are therefore increasingly involved in complex working relationships. This seminar focuses on some of the fundamental issues currently faced and addresses them from the perspective of an art practitioner.

In our hands-on workshops, with team and individual activities, we will address: How do you interlink poetic, informative, critical, process- and application-oriented work? How do you negotiate individual and co-working? How do you communicate process-oriented approaches? How do you combine action and research? How do you take the glocal art rootings into account?

At the end of the seminar the participants have at hand a tool-box, which reflects their position in art and supports their practice, be it, among others, experimental, explorative, descriptive, or correlational.
