Contextual Practice
Contextual Practice is part of the Faculty of Fine Arts. It is conceived as an interface between the practical implementation of artistic processes and theoretical reflection. One focus of Contextual Practice is dealing with and conveying concepts and findings from artistic research for students of Fine Arts (Classes for Generative Media and Installation, Jewellery and Hollowware, New Media, Painting and Graphics, Performance, Photography, Scenography and Stage Costume Design, Sculpture) as well as the cross-class supervision of individual projects. In the programme, we investigate interdisciplinary discourses with focus on critical materialism and their ethical-political implications. Together we will explore how practice-based research can influence and respond to issues of material entanglement, environmental sustainability and social justice.
