Lernziele / Kompetenzen
  • Working with language as a material for describing and developing works of art
  • Rethinking modes of performance and other time-based works of art
  • Revising and reformulating existing works within the students practice
  • Developing personal working methods that make use of language and text in the artistic practice
InhalteThe title of the study group departs from the use of the word 'body' in order to describe a block of text, despite its seemingly rigid structure of a square text block with little bodily appeal. It will focus on dismantling this square block from its rigid conditions, applying its formalities upon the more pliable and unpredictable nature of the human body, as well as investigating how these opposing qualities may also attribute each other in an artistic practice. Through a workshop-approach, we will investigate how a text can take on physical qualities as well as looking into how writing is used as a mean to develop performances, moving image and spatial installations. The study group is meant to both activate and develop existing texts/works within the students artistic practice, as well as aiming to create, or initiate, new texts/works possible within the limited amount of time.

The study group will also include a one-day excursion as well as studio visits/mentorate with the partaking students.
