Obsah

Documentation, cataloguing, and dissemination of one’s own work are fundamental components of professional artistic practice. Documentation functions as a tool for personal development, as well as a cultural, historical, and critical framework through which an evolving practice is understood, shared, and preserved. This module explores how documentation produces meaning. It examines the relationship between the object, context, and image, and questions conventions within exhibition-making, publishing, and studio practice.

Teaching takes place in the form of seminars, group discussions, practical exercises, technical workshops, and visits to galleries and archives. Students are guided towards both independent and collaborative work during these sessions, responding to a series of assignments and scenarios.

Focus:

Exhibition documentation

Photobook documentation

Workflows

Studio still life and experimental lighting

Artist portrait

During this course, you will:

document exhibitions directly within the installation space

document photobooks (individually and in groups)

analyse methods of installation, sequencing, and presentation

develop technical workflows (capture, editing, colour, file management)

test different approaches to documentation (neutral, interpretative, subjective)

identify conventions and critically question them

present work and discuss it within group critiques

produce studio documentation of artworks and objects

photograph still life with attention to lighting and materiality

develop the artist portrait within a professional and contextual framework
