The course is dedicated to the archive as an object of investigation for artistic research and as a site of artistic intervention and transformation. It is a continuation of the course from the winter semester 2022/23 and is to be understood as a practice-based deepening of the contents worked out so far. Based on the presented texts and artistic positions, the students are to develop and realize their own artistic methods. The focus is on the archive as a structure and theoretical figure, as a "specific site of production of a respective narrative, a specific and possibly different history" (Ebeling/Günzel).  The students' individual approaches to the topic will be accompanied by repeated visits to the archives of the VBKÖ and of the University of Applied Arts, feedback discussions and workshops with invited artists. In this way, an artistic work is to be realized in the course of the term and presumably presented during the winter term 2023/24.

Active and regular participation, presentation and discussion of relevant texts, development and realization of an individual projects  with one of the cooperating archives at the VBKÖ (Association of Women Artists in Austria) and of the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Meetings take place at the department Site-specific Art, Paulusplatz 5, seminar space, 2nd floor
