Content

Project in Contexts 
In Studio 2, students work to conceptualise, develop and realise new projects in close relation to their formulated research. Building on the formulated research, students develop their own artistic system in which a vision of their own working method, sources of inspiration, artistic goals, theoretical starting points, the relationship to the participant and the kind of artistry is formulated. In the supervision, the emphasis is on a more explicit reflection on these ingredients of the artistic theory in relation to the projects developed. It will be further elaborated in the last stage of the Course and crystallise into a coherent artistic and public production. The result is a project in a specific context, as well as a documented account of the development and a written reflection on the process followed and its results, which will be part of the Graduation Thesis.  
 
The instructional modes are individual and intervisional. Active attendance and participation are mandatory to receive a total of 30 EC, including Project & Research Process, Process Documentation, Presentation and Project Review.
