Course detail

Studio III - Environment - winter

FaVU-B3EN-ZAcad. year: 2013/2014

The Environment Studio Program is intended as a creative approach to the environment; to place. It is defined in it's widest sense here – locally, institutionally, historically, or/and, geopolitically, virtually, mentally and so on. – primarily as a shared space, a context.
The substance of the studio is not bound by media traditionally associated with the fine arts. This opens up a whole range of approaches and interdisciplinary cooperation.

Course curriculum

The programme of study is carried out through work on mutual and individual projects. One key part is the critical reading of literature and texts connected with the programme of the Studio and with individual work. A parallel programme maps various locally specific problems and issues relating to creative methods, media and generally with production and presentation of contemporary art. At the same time, the events of the day in a wider contemporary art and cultural context both in the Czech Republic and internationally. This is accompanied by talks and get-togethers organised by the Studio, and externally. All components are reflected upon during common and individual consultations and serve to create a critical discourse.
