The CREATING A CONTEXT Erasmus Intensive Programme (IP) Krakow 2014 brings together postgraduate Fine Art and Architect students from Newcastle University, Akademie der Bildenden Künste München, Politecnico Milano, Gerrit Rietveld Academie Amsterdam, Glasgow School of Arts, Université Catholique de Louvain Bruxelles and the Kunstakademie Münster  to collaborate on new innovative artworks and spatial solutions.

Using the concept of an international ‘biennale’, the curriculum will emulate a ‘real’ professional context. The students, working in small cross-disciplinary and transnational groups will be invited to respond to a specific site. This practice led approach will be embedded in a theoretical framework that enables a critical discussion and understanding of European art and architecture production and exhibition practice.

Here is the agenda of the two weeks and the Lablog presentation Beyond Memorialisation (140710).

Call for Application

Sixty students working in nine cross-disciplinary and transnational groups will develop proposals for a permanently sited public artwork as part of the Emscher Kunst Triennale 2013. Working collaboratively in your cross-disciplinary groups you are asked to respond creatively to the designated site.  You are asked to reflect upon this unique context and to design a place for human interaction/contemplation. This should be a specially designed site-specific structure that is situated somewhere along the green belt area that incorporates steel as the main material.
