Content

Content for MADtech and Painting

This course subject offers a range of workshops/seminars that connect to the students’ artistic practices and a variety of discourses surrounding them. Through working in interdisciplinary groups, using varying educational methods, students exchange and deepen their knowledge of and relation with specific current topics. Each profile provides a profile-specific Discursive Context workshop (of 1 EC) in the Fall/Winter, which is mandatory. For the remaining 4 ECs, and based on recent developments and interests within their own artistic practice, students choose two workshops from a catalogue of six on offer (from January). The catalogue covers a range of topics, which may vary per year, and is announced during the first trimester, so students have time to register.
 
 
For a limited part of the Discursive Contexts credits (2 ECs), the student may formulate an individual research programme, in consultation with their core lecturer for theory, consisting of an external series of lectures and/or individual source study. 
 
The instructional modes are lecture, individual, assignment, seminar. Active attendance and participation, as well as meeting assignment requirements, are mandatory to receive a total of 5 ECs.
