Artistic Practises 1 (10cr)

Objectives

The students learn to see how modern art is placed in the field of cultural performance methods and to analyse the exhibition conventions of museums. The students produce a work of art.

Content

The course consists of two parts: independent artistic work and analysis on exhibition conventions. The students implement a work of art, identify their own topic world and working process and try out implementation methods. The work process is documented through sketches and writing. Finally the work is shown in public. In the part of analysing the exhibition conventions, the students examine the means and possibilities of modern art in relation to contexts, institutions and viewers. The students learn the representation strategies of art and other forms of culture through analysis of exhibition conventions, performances and media events.
