Further information

Kursilla opiskelija voi itse valita tekniikan jolla toteuttaa paikkasidonnaisen taideprojektin tai siinä tapauksessa, että projekti olisi suuri ja suuritöinen (vaatisi erityislupia tms.)suunnitelman paikkasidonnaiseksi teokseksi. Pääasiassa opiskelija työskentelee oman teoksensa parissa, mutta kurssi sisältää yhteisiä osuuksia joihin kaikkien on osallistuttava (kuten perehtymistä maalaus-, veistos ja video-installaatioihin sekä performanssin ja paikkasidonnaisen taiteen suhteeseen sekä vierailuja paikkasidonnaisten teosten äärelle tai näyttelyihin. Tarkoituksena on, että opiskelijan ymmärrys paikkasidonnaisen taiteen luonteesta kehittyisi ja opiskelija oppisi soveltamaan paikkasidonnaisen ajatteluun liittyviä asioita omaan taiteelliseen työskentelyynsä. Kurssi sisältää paljon henkilökohtaisia ohjaustapaamisia nämä ajat sovitaan erikseen niin, että ne eivät mene päällekkäin opiskelijan muiden kurssien opetuksen kanssa, pääasiassa näitä tapaamisia on tiistaisin ja keskiviikkoisin klo 11-12, tarkempi aikataulu löytyy kohdasta opiskelijan ajankäyttö ja kuormitus.
