Course Description:
The Contemporary Art Course will focus on a practical matter, to finish one artwork in any chosen media during the time Summer School.

Participants will be asked to explore questions that can be part of contemporary art global story from their local perspective. The nature of the works to be developed during the course should discuss and present the issues of the differences between countries with developed art system and the ones without or poorly developed (as in many places of Eastern Europe and others. In places without developed art systems there are various strategies and approaches on various levels such as art’s production and distribution. The participants are expected to consider the premise that coming from a country with least developed art system is not necessarily a disadvantage.

The course development will be based on discussions of ideas, material implementation, and the process of producing an artwork along with the conceptual and technological level. The students should then decide what topics they want to deal with and develop a more complex project they would like to work on further. Topics will not be limited.
