Course 5: Curating and Producing Public Art
August 3 - 7, 2015
Course leader: Martin Fritz


Course Description
Curating and Producing Public Art has come a long way since it was mainly associated with standalone sculptures, memorials and murals. Site Specificity has become an elaborated conceptual and practical framework for a great variety of practices identified as Site Specific Art, Context Sensitive Art, New Genre Public Art, Participatory Art Practices and Artivism. 

Starting with on-site research in the urban context of Prishtina the participants will choose an adequate urban situation for their project proposal. Subsequently the participants will be guided through the conceptual, curatorial and practical development of a project. Basic principles of project-management and an introduction to the production of realities for contemporary art projects will supplement the program.
