Course contents
The aim of the Post-conceptual Photography Studio is to create a flexible platform in which works linked to the context of contemporary art may arise.
The studio is a dynamic structure developing personal approaches. Students are to be able to review current tendencies in contemporary art and be able to take an educated stance based on a knowledge of the history of photography and contemporary art. Characteristic for contemporary art is the interweaving of the borders of individual genres and media.
It is impossible to talk only about photography, but about the entire context of art.
The foundation of teacher - student communication is regular studio meetings and personal consultations at which current topics are discussed which are presented by the student and the instructor.
Student should be able to think about the wider framework of not only their work but also to find adequate forms for their sources. The should be able to consider „dramaturgy“ of an exhibition, manner of installation, etc. An inseparable part of this work with form is - the thought about appropriate technology and management of the trade - along with the initial phase of the creative process
