The seminar is about relationships in artistic research. Based on the research fellows’ research projects, endeavours are made to map relations and how they influence artistic processes and results in the different phases of projects. Experiences with leading and carrying out complex artistic projects are shared. We recommend you to prepare and reflect on the seminar in dialogue with your supervisor(s).
The seminar takes place at Bymuseet i Bergen: The School museum and the University of Bergen´s Læringsarena, Bergen.
Seminar with preparatory assignments, lectures, presentations in varied formats, plenary discussions and discussions in groups. Group work sessions led by the research fellows themselves. Research fellows must have read the literature on the mandatory reading list and prepared a text and presentation in a relevant format. During the seminar, research fellows must give a presentation and play an active part in the discussion of other research fellows’ projects. A total workload of 75–90 hours, corresponding to 3 credits.
Preparation for the group work sessions:
- With the seminar theme `Relations´ in mind, define one or more issues or questions related to your project, the artistic processes, or the PhD results that you want to discuss in the group work session.
- Submit material that introduces us to your project and the issues or questions you have decided to discuss with your group. If the material is a text, then the maximum lenght should be 250 words. Should you choose to submit a video or audio introduction, then the maximum length is 3 minutes. Your contribution will be shared with all the participants one week before the seminar. Language: English. Deadline: 25 August. Send to: pku@hkdir.no.
