Content
What to read, how to read, when to read: these are the questions addressed in this collaborative study of productive use of text in relation to artistic practice as a whole. This seminar provides students with a safe and inspiring framework for dialogue. Students are motivated to share differences and similarities between their various film practices in a conversation about possible relationships between reading, artistic research and filmmaking. The seminar leader provides a compact set of texts that are read in advance. Students complete the reading list themselves with a few titles that are also read by all participants. During classes, the content of the texts is discussed and reading experiences are exchanged. The text collection holds various off- and online registers and formats, from essays to artists' writings, from literary to academic texts. Joint reading - out loud and in silence - is an integral part of the seminar, which aims to form a temporary community based on shared individual knowledge and experience. The seminar also hooks into the school library's regular book club.
Format: more information
The seminar includes 5 meetings on 5 full days spread over the first semester. The seminar leader provides his text bundle at the start of the academic year. Students contribute to the volume by the start of classes and engage in class discussions in all meetings. The seminar also includes participation of all participants in the regular on campus book club of which, by way of final presentation, they themselves organize and moderate some sessions.
