Time and Space Arts
The objective of the time and space arts degree programme is to provide students with the abilities to manage
–
in terms of knowledge and skills
–
the areas of fine arts that are connected to time and space. The programme strives to provide an extensive, personal understanding of these subjects as well as an understanding of how the fields are connected to each other and to the conventions of art history. The different forms of contemporary art are given particular attention, as are the forces behind them and their theory.
Outwards orientation is strongly characteristic of the time and space arts. Perceptive activities are strongly inherent in these art forms: How do messages work and in which ways they are received? Continuous exploration and experimentation is a fundamental part of the process. The openness of form is another typical factor and, at the same time, the time and space arts are very international art forms.
Extensive independent work and experience gathered in the process are traditionally emphasised in the study of fine arts. In the time and space arts study programme, significant focus is placed on discussions addressing the relation between the form and content of the work of art and the social meanings it has as a whole.
Independent work and related assessments still remain an integral part of the studies. The purpose of the discussions is to broaden the understanding of the connections between the arts, their traditions and history and the interconnections.
The studies in time and space arts have been divided into three possible areas of specialisation: moving image, site and situation specific arts and photography. The basics of AV narration establish the grounds for studies in the time and space arts and this is a joint study module to all Bachelor students in the time and space arts study programme.
