Studiegids

Content

The photography studio practice is directed towards a permanently questioned studio practice through presentations to the tutors and the group of fellow students and a critical evaluation of each other’s projects. Therefore, the individual projects of the participating students are the points of departure of the studio practice. The students give each other insight into their projects through group presentations and the keeping up to date of a research folio. These activities are supported by feedback sessions in group on the projects and the development of the paper, as well as by lectures of artists/curators/art critics, studio visits and exhibition visits.

The students present the evolution of the Master project at a try-out exhibition and at the final Master exhibition.

Students should install their work in an autonomous and professional way for the external jury and for the graduation show as well.

They are themselves responsible to find technical solutions for the functioning and installing their work for the try-out and graduationshow.

During the graduationshow the student should take care of the permanence during the exhibition.

Practical participation @ studio practice:

In order to organize the studio practice, each semester two students are in charge to give feed-back and organize the studio practice program on a daily basis. This means to coordinate and follow up the agreements upon the use of the spaces and the appointments to follow-up. They are in charge to communicate with your peers. At the begin of each semester the responsible students are chosen through collective discussion. Catch-up meetings, announced via Toledo, are moments where these issues are discussed. We will have a shared studio space available in North Station. The agreements for this organization has to be communicated to Fine-Arts and Photography as well.

Work /reflective flow:

Papers/ assignments: Twice a year, in order to practice actively, the writing skills, papers are required around themes discussed in the studio practice. External assignments are developed of which the students has to choose 3 of them to comment and write a paper about at the end of each semester. This have to posted at Toledo and the guidelines will be communicated via Toledo. Deadlines are announced through Toledo.

During the try-out weeks students have to interview each other and write a critical review and appreciation about each others master project in process. It will be send to the coordinator and the the students of whom the review is written. The assignments should be handed in through Toledo or luca email on the required date.

Counselling sessions are organised individually/in small groups on campus if safety conditions permit. If this is not possible, digital tutoring sessions are provided.
