From place to action. The course Place to Action – Art that Interferes is motivated and inspired by places. More specifically: the histories, contexts, narratives, situations, circumstances and people’s interactions and intra-actions and relationships with locations, which form places. Lingering in places with attention, listening to them and experimenting the possible ways of movement within them. These attentive gazes of places will initiate interdisciplinary artistic actions and interventions that aim to explore and reflect the possibilities of art to interfere. This is an interdisciplinary artistic research course that considers artistic action in the widest sense. As for that students from all disciplines are welcome to join. This is an opportunity as well for students from the Faculty of Humanities to explore and research the complexity of places hands on with all their body and senses.

ART AND FOOD: POLITICAL DIMENSIONS AND ARTISTIC POSSIBILITIES OF FOOD. The course encourages students to rethink the practical and conceptual role of food in the political and artistic realm. The aim is to open up new perspectives on taste and smell, and to inspire students to explore aspects of cooking, eating and feeding in their artistic practice.

Summer Academy, Austria / Guest Teacher

Make art at your own risk. In collaboration with Manar Zuabi. The course deals with concepts and practices of the artistic voice (voicing) and is based on the joint teaching approach of the artists Manar Zuabi and Thalia Hoffman. This emerged from the way in which the artists orient their practice towards resistance against socio-political hegemonies. The complexity of heterogeneous forms of artistic expression is to be explored in today’s context with all its challenges. The course encourages participants to examine their practices as dynamic parallels that occasionally conflict, sometimes interact and often resist together through different artistic tactics. This approach aims to explore and create artworks and actions as artists’ responsibilities and responses in spaces characterized by violence and loss. The course is divided into four main themes: Language, Boundaries, Participatory Art, and Activist Interventions in Public Space. Each section will include discussion of artworks, shared reading, and group and individual exercises. Selected exercises will be shown as part of the open studios.

Displaced Artists on Their Way Home. In collaboration with Manar Zuabi. Appreciated art is often defined as placeless and timeless, as work that is universal and eternal. But art making is also rooted in its place and time, in the socioeconomic and political context in which the art is created. In the era we live in, ruled as it is by the authority of money, forced control, colonialism and endless wars, artists, like many others, find themselves displaced. Either they are physically forced to move and are thus exiled from their homes, or they feel profoundly alienated from the ruling systems in their country and it is as if they are displaced while still living in their homeland. This course is informed by artists with an experience of displacement and exile at the root of their practice, and by the works they create. Specifically, it is informed by the collaborative teaching approaches of artists Manar Zuabi and Thalia Hoffman. It will unfold from their practice as artists making art in a place they feel displaced from. The course aspires to navigate the complexity of heterogeneous artistic expression within an unrooted and challenging context. It encourages participants to examine their practices as dynamic parallels that occasionally conflict, sometimes interact, and frequently co-resist through various art tactics. This approach aims to explore and create artworks and actions as responses and as the responsibility of artists in a space marked by loss and displacement.
