Lernziele / Kompetenzen	Engage with your own practice and especially aspects of showing and display. Discuss your work and decisions in exchange with the group. Get to know contexts of other contemporary artistic practices.
Inhalte	To show an artwork means to leave the studio and to take your practice into a certain space, engage with a (given) context and step into a dialogue with the site of display, but also with other artists, their works, curators and venues. To show an artwork also means to come to a form or format that positions itself towards visibility, legibility or maybe also includes strategies of mediation and dialogue. How does a work change within different contexts and where is the boundary between controlling and showing flexibility towards the framework of an exhibition? In this practice module we will talk about showing and about shows, how to share your works, where and why. We will look at and experiment with different modalities of displaying and talk about these options within the context of your own work. In the center of the course is your individual artistic practice. Within the two weeks we will walk and talk about your works, do an exhibition together and also visit other exhibitions in and around Zurich. A detailed program will follow before the term starts.
