  • Students will be able to explain their own interests and topics in relation to global issues and discussions surrounding art.
InhalteWe work within pluriperspective art worlds and rapidly changing realities. Our seminar theme that we continue, “Thinking Big, Small & Many,” will serve as a reference point to reflect on our practices, positions and perspectives. We will rethink references, scale and materials through action-oriented activities, thinking, walking & talking, visual mapping, viewing and discussing. Our reference texts include Josephine Berry’s “The Agency of (Planetary) Feeling” (2022), Olafur Eliasson’s “Why art has the power to change the world” (2016), Wok The Rock’s “Speculating with the Equator Dreams” (2015), and Seth Denizen’s “In Defence of the Art Mall” (2015). We also will explore spheres of thought coming from multiple perspectives through essayistic and asemic writing in our native languages. We then translate these into the lingua franca of our professional environment and use these texts as references for further discussion.
