Over MA Programme Fine Art

The MA Programme Fine Art consists of three parallel courses: Critical studies, Discipline Related studies and your Individual Project.
1 Presentation
Many questions about the concept of image remain unanswered. To investigate the artistic image, we begin at the most primary form of visualization and representation, i.e. drawing. The meaning of drawing is the starting point for investigating the position and meaning of the image in current visual culture.

2 Representation
The extreme of visualisation is the photographic image. The photograph often serves as final piece, recording, moment of distribution, and documentation. Visual culture contributes a high degree of truthfulness to the photograph. What does the photographic paradigm mean for topical, artistic practice?

3 Communication
The following concepts are addressed: the position of the studio, the artistic attitude, the effect of painterly thought in current visual culture, filmic imagination, performativity, intermediality, transmedial communication, and the role of the artist's text.

4 Context
The focus lies on contextualisation: an inquiry into how the artistic image should be presented. To investigate various exhibition models, a platform for practical research is offered. The role and position of art in public space is also investigated.
