Form and Freedom

This is a project-based module exploring the relationship between expression and constraint, authority and autonomy. The module combines practical work with relief printmaking in the printmaking workshop with reading, discussing and individual work.

Art, Botany and Gardening

This PRO investigates the garden as an essential metaphor for our relationship with nature. The garden as a mirror of society, a site that replaces clock time with circular time, a place of work, leisure, dreams and utopias, exemplified in art history and in contemporary art practice.

Teacher: Prof. Annette Kierulf

As part of this PRO you can get Workshop Access/HSE to the printmaking workshop.

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).
