Keynote lecture by Irene Posch.
Teaching Artistic Strategies
Playing with Materiality, Aesthetics, and Ambiguity
Teaching Artistic Strategies is a four-day symposium on research and pedagogy in the context of art and design institutions. It is aimed at junior researchers in practice-based research in art and design and art and design education, co-organized by the Institute of Arts and Design Education (IADE) and the Make/Sense PhD Program IXDM at FHNW Academy of Art and Design, Basel. We invite participants to propose a crash course on the subject or an imaginary teaching scenario that they would like to try out.
The symposium will offer an opportunity to junior scholars to consider their research in terms of teaching and reflect on their contribution to knowledge by transferring research topics and methods into innovative pedagogies. Selected participants will present teaching formats that come out of their research projects. The symposium will provide a supportive environment to present their research strategies and a network platform to engage with international peers.
The symposium will take place from Monday to Thursday, 23-26 May 2022. It will include three introductory workshops offered by the organizers, twelve teaching demonstrations by selected participants, complemented by three keynote lectures by invited guests who make important contributions to the fields of artistic research and teaching. We plan to publish the outputs of the symposium in a special issue of a journal on arts and design education and artistic research.
The event addresses the challenge of transferring academic knowledge – produced in art education and practice-based research – to teaching programs, formats, and skills. We propose to focus on this challenge through experimental approaches characteristic of the research practices of the participants.
With keynotes by:
- Prof. Dr. Elke Krasny, Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna
- Dr. Glen Loughran, Technological University Dublin
- Prof. Dr. Irene Posch, University of Art and Design Linz
