Beschreibung

“Art has no parameters ... Artists do, they continually re-define them” - Raivoo Puusemp in Beyond Art -- Dissolution of Rosendale, N.Y.

 

The 1st semester focused on artistic strategies in time-based media, examining how artists working with film, video, and video installation question issues of representation of underrepresented history and heritage.

On the 2nd semester, students are invited to investigate the interactions between artistic strategies, public space, and community building. 

Putting in context the quote by Raivoo Puuseemp, the course will use the exhibition project Culture in Action as a case study to investigate how artistic strategies are essentially and specifically shaped by artists as a response to and as an acknowledgment of the complex contexts in which artworks are produced and with which they aim to engage.

Culture in action was a landmark exhibition project by Mary Jane Jacob realized in 1993 in Chicago. Rather than an exhibition in the classic sense, the project set out to provide culture “in otherwise undeserved communities by generating culture from within the communities themselves”. 

The program of Culture in Action consisted of eight separate projects with different communities such as AIDS patients, high school students, or members of the Baker, Confectionary and Tobacco Workers' Union. Each project required of the artists and persons involved to generate their own interdisciplinary and transversal working methods as well as strategies. 

The sessions of the course will move between lecture, research, presentations, and discussions, to examine, identify and question the various artistic strategies suggested by the exhibition, aiming at fostering innovative forms of empowerement and agency of marginalized and underrepresented social groups.
