The course will give students the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of arts and cultural institutions, practitioners, networks and festivals in a regional and national context. The students will become familiar with various modes of collaboration, and gain practical experences from organisational and creative roles, and gain insight into planning, curating, production and the dissemination of art in relevant contexts. The course will simultaneously give the students the opportunity to start networking.
This will be relevant to the further study programme, e.g. by becoming acquainted with possible collaboration partners for completion of the master’s project and for the students’ following professional work. The course conveys knowledge of discourse about methods, and conditions in the field of art and culture and thereby promotes the students’ ability to reflect upon and evaluate these. In this context attention is drawn to how art and arts education is conditioned by institutional, infrastructural, economic and ecological contexts.
Teaching is predominantly organised in the form of practical collaboration with arts and cultural institutions, practitioners, networks and festivals, both in the form of individual assignments and group work. The practical work is accompanied by regular colloquia to discuss and relate relevant discourse in relation to the students’ practical experiences.
During the course you will mostly work in collaboration with the Institutes partners, e.g. SAND International Performing Arts Festival, Kilden Performing Arts Centre, , Kristiansand Art Hall, Scenekunst Sør, Sørlandets Museum of Art (SKMU), PUNKT-festival, Platform Nord, regional arts institutes and art schools as well as international festivals in other towns.
