| Inhalte | "The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions" (Performance, Installation and Sound) The spontaneous, unexpected or random event is sometimes the most crucial component in the production of art. We will discuss how sometimes these spaces are constructed, induced and conspired by various artists’ methodologies. In addition, the course will investigate these seemingly ever present spaces that emerge between uncertainty and artistic intentions, through performative workshops, shared experiences conveyed by the teachers own practice, lectures, individual mentorships, and a study trip to explore the contemporary art scene in Glasgow, Scotland.
