InhalteThis Practice Seminar focuses on the presentation and display of art. How does your art become visible, within which settings? How do you describe the reciprocal and relational web within which your work is perceived? Which aesthetical and practical judgements guide your work? Which orientation points do you provide for the viewer/listener/participant to access your work? These are some of the questions, which we will address in our seminar.

We will discuss how these interrelate with the other central aspects of art practice, such as research, development, construction, solution-problem solving. Your work may present itself in various formats, such as an object, occurrence, ephemeral or a temporal sensation. We will play with and examine presentation/display possibilities, based on your own work and further examples, and apply various modes of discussion, including visual mapping.
