Inhalte	In this seminar we investigate how painting can be approached and where its relevant qualities are situated today. We visit artists in their studios and discuss various analog and digital techniques and strategies in their painting process. With these encounters we discover different understandings of painting and get in touch with local artists involved in different networks and communities. Additionally, we explore in our field trips art in public and current exhibitions dealing with topics of painting. Throughout the seminar we discuss and discover in different formats recent publications, catalogues, texts and works by contemporary artists and critics such as Jana Euler, Avery Singer, Isabelle Graw, Merlin Carpenter, David Joselit, Laura Owens etc. On top we also explore video-based works by artists that are mainly known for their painting practices. We extend our vocabulary of contemporary painting with both our practical proximity and theoretical investigations. We gain different perspectives to reflect our own positions and attitudes within this vivid and everchanging field and seek for new possible languages.
