Course description
Supplementary semester information
Objectives and Content
This is a project-based module exploring the relationships between expression and constraint, chaos and control, authority and autonomy. The following questions are investigated: Which established tools and parameters are useful within artistic practice, and which should we seek to transcend? In what circumstances can we, as artists, find freedom within the form, and when is freedom formless?
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).
