Paradox - Transition And Progression
Fine Art European Forum: PARADOX conference Accademia di Belle Arti, Palermo, Italy, 21- 22 September 2009.
NAN supported event
Transition and progression: in Fine Art Education and Research
Discussions will be centred on the following four themes:
Curriculum development
Identifying diverse fine art curricula initiatives across Europe and looking at the challenges this presents from different geographical and other perspectives.
Chaired by Maia Mancuso, Accademia di Belle Arti, Palermo and Sean Cummins, Nottingham Trent school of Art and Design.
Exchange and exhibition
Making fine art student exchange more focused and specific, based on existential and artistic emancipation in different social and cultural environments. Developing and implementing staff exchange, based on similarity and difference or agreement and dissent, pushing personal and professional envelopes and doing what you're good at in a foreign context, challenging solitary souls into cross-fertilization and interaction with worthy allies.
Chaired by Andres WieCheRink, Utrecht School of Fine Art.
Professional practice, external relations
The profession of the artist in the real world: how does academic study and research relate to the art ecosystem? Dynamics and dialogue beyond academia, towards professional practice in Europe.
Chaired by Emilia Telese, Networking Artists Networks.
Research and doctoral level
Is there a real alternative to a research process that theorizes practice? Is practicing the theory a more useful way to arrive at practice itself as 'the site' of research?
Chaired by Kevin Atherton, National College of Art, Dublin.
The conference fee is 100 Euros. If you would like to register, please download the attached Paradox registration form and forward to Onella Privitera at amministrazione@accademiadipalermo.it
