Content

Presentations 2 
In the first and second year in the Course Subject Presentations, students participate individually or collaboratively in exhibition projects, presentations and pitches. Partner is the Re:Search: Gallery, a collaboration between NP3, an experimental platform for contemporary artists in Groningen, the FMI, the Research Centre Art & Society & the University of Groningen.  
 
The focus in Presentations is on communicating and presenting (the process aspect of) artistic practice; how to show and share one’s research and, in return, how to integrate presentations in one’s own and/or shared studio practice. The Re:Search:Gallery  can be a showcase, but also a meeting place, stage, studio or vehicle and is built up, demolished and rebuilt at changing locations. While the student's work is constantly being changed, removed and supplemented. Students are participating, creating, reflecting, arguing, archiving, documenting, publishing and presenting. 
 
The instructional modes are action learning, lectures and guest lectures, intervision. Active attendance and participation are mandatory to receive a total of 5 EC (incombination with Graduation prep), which include Research Process and Presentation. 
 
Graduation Prep  
In this Course Subject, the student prepares for the realisation of the Graduation Programme. The student is responsible for creating a realistic work plan for the organisational parts of the Graduation Programme. Questions to work on include: what technical support will be needed in the preparation and implementation of the project; is additional funding necessary and (how) can that be arranged; how to attract attention for the presentation and which audience to aim for, etc. The subject consists of group sessions as well as individual supervision. The progress is regularly discussed with the supervisor(s) and the curator / production manager of the Graduation Show. This subject is closely connected to Studio 2 and the Graduation Programme.  
  
The instructional modes are action learning, intervision, problem-based learning, project education. Active attendance and participation are mandatory to receive a total of 5 EC (in combinations with Presentations 2) which include Process Documentation and Presentation, and Professional Attitude and Action.
