Sculpture
Three-dimensional thinking and exploring its possibilities are features characteristic of sculpture.The sculpture degree programme aims at offering as extensive training as possible in contemporary sculpture and the history of the art form, without leaving by the wayside old techniques and traditional materials. The teaching of contemporary sculpture comprises
–
in addition to installation art and works of art in galleries and museums
–
the exploration of processes specific to time, space or a situation. In addition, the programme emphasises attaining an understanding of works placed in public spaces from a multisectoral perspective.
The focus of the studies in sculpture lies on three main concepts: the examination of form, space and materials. These factors are, however, closely interdependent and it is not the objective of the programme to separate them.Each student is allowed to place an emphasis on the different concepts included in the studies based on his/her own preferences. The only common and compulsory courses and guidelines are those pertaining to the techniques of using the equipment and materials as well the safety of working methods.
The main emphasis of the instruction lies in individual tutoring. Different kinds of seminars are organised for students during each term. At the seminars, students also receive feedback and tutoring on the works that are still in process. During each term, one or more common review sessions are organised to which visiting artists and other professional artists are invited.
