Two parallel lines travel in sync yet never meet; two lines converge at a fixed point only to continue in opposite directions. This project-based module explores the nature of relationships, proximities, and intersections - whether formal, social, or cultural - and investigates how form, space, thought, and power are constructed through the various ways things are situated in relation to one another.

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).
