Reflection and Artistic Exchange In the scope of regular colloquia, issues in contemporary art discourse are dealt with as well as topics in art theory, aesthetics and social science. Preparation for a Freelance Career The programme prepares students for the various aspects involved in being a professional artist. Topics include: • Legal and financial conditions for freelance work as an artist • Self-marketing • Planning and implementation of exhibitions • Planning and implementation of culturally educational projects Parallel Project A significant component of the programme’s concept is to support you in developing and pursuing your own course of study. For this purpose, when you apply for the programme, you should include a proposal for an artistic project on a topic that you would like to develop and work on intensively throughout the period of your studies. You pursue and realise your individual project parallel to your studies.

In the lectures and seminars of this cultural studies programme, current social phenomena are discussed as well as philosophical issues and topics in art history.
