| Course of study

A course of study for artists, who have already started to move in a
specific direction within their work and who would like to participate in a
programme, which is offering the opportunity to further develop their
working practice. The course focuses on helping artists to reach a
heightened understanding of their work in a wider artistic, cultural and
theoretical context. Our aim is to encourage and develop the production of
new works, ideas and concepts through giving access to a tutorial, seminar
and workshop programme from an international field of teaching staff drawn
from Goldsmiths College, London, The Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts,
Budapest as well as invited internationally renowned artists.
