STRAND A: DIVERSE KNOWLEDGE

This strand will explore artistic knowledge.  What is the relation between artistic research and knowledge? How does knowledge affect an artist’s production? Can we assume cultural diversity as a way to respond to the demand of a diverse knowledge? Does the PhD ’s model of ‘new knowledge’ fit art?

 

STRAND B: DIVERSE ETHICS

In this complex and conflict-ridden arena, it has become crucial not only to identify, but also to reconsider the ethical basis and scope of the art education institution, in order to retain its relevance in the society of the future.  Teaching ethically and the ‘ethical’ has made it imperative for lecturers to consider different methods.  In this strand we intend to investigate how feminist, LGBTQ or culturally diverse forms of teaching have enhanced the curriculum and our understanding.

 

STRAND C:  DIVERSE MEANS

In Art education offers differing examples of how young artists are educated relative to the values and dogma of contemporary fine art.  With a discursive model of art education now most prevalent across European institutions, this strand will discuss new and emergent modes of peer based learning, the present means by which young artists are educated and the relationship between meaning and means

 

STRAND D:  DIVERSE AESTHETIC

Considering art education in terms of interaction between aesthetic and political practices determined by Rancière's aesthetic regime of arts, this strand will debate whether the social and economic engagement of art schools should be addressed by the politicization of aesthetics just to avoid another aesthetization of politics amongst other issues.
