FORM & Friction

Focus area: Trans- inter- multi- disciplinary practices

Module responsible: Ingrid Cogne

The PRO212/312 Form and Friction focusses on the combination of several techniques – different media and the “use” of language – in the concept development and realization of a work, project, installation by the students.

The PRO212/312 wants to provide the opportunity to think relationalities:

• trans- inter- multi- disciplinary practices (matter, material, and media),
• co-practices (team and reciprocal support with peers’ community),
• textual aspects of a work (from title to description to syllabus to text itself as a matter/material),
• time-space, installation-composition.

The PRO212/312 facilitates the access to several HMS sessions: Wood (one day), Plaster (one hour), 3D printing (one day), and Laser engraving (one day). Registrations will be necessary due to limitation of participants (max. 6 for wood, max. 8 for plaster, max. 12 for 3D printing and laser engraving). The repartition will be performed accordingly to needs. The students are encouraged to have performed all (additional) HMS they need for their practices prior to the PRO212/312.

This is a project-based module with a focus on the intersections of physical form and temporal experience, investigating modes through which form materializes and how time can be experienced and shaped.

PRO modules are designed to enrich your artist development (as explored in the ART modules) through activating skills, connecting communities of practice, and investigating disciplinary territories. PRO modules allow you to focus on a specific project critically connected to your own practice within a context established by the module leader(s).
