About the Summer Academy Programme
The 2014 Summer Academy offers 21 courses of between one and
four weeks—18 in Hohensalzburg Fortress, one in the Kiefer quarry in
Fürstenbrunn and two in temporary venues in the city.
How does the world come into the picture? *
This is the motto of the Summer Academy’s widely varied programme. It
deals with the particular ability of the fine arts to generate “images”
of the increasingly impenetrable world, both of its superficial outward
appearance and of social and political conditions.
ThusAmelie von Wulffen begins her course with the question of how artists
appropriate the world, and how it then develops into a picture, and Norbert
Bisky investigates the relation between perception and image-finding. Together
with his students, Doug Ashford carries out research and practical experiment
on the nature of human
life, bodies and politics. By establishing direct on-site collaboration, Tobias
Zielony concentrates specifically on the use of photography to show the
life-worlds of young people.
What’s new in 2014?
For the first time, the Summer Academy offers a course in The Art of Writing,
with art historian, critic and writer Jennifer Allen. Since the Summer Academy
programme opened up to include further
artistic disciplines, starting with curatorial practice, this is a
logical continuation.
Cinéma copains (Arne Hector/Minze Tummescheit)
demonstrate how artists today can work with analogue film in their own
dark-room, showing a method developed by artists in recent years
parallel to the disappearance of analogue film. Robert Kuśmirowski will direct
the Summer Academy’s first course in the genre “Public
Art”; students will move around in the city from a “home base”,
exploring possible and impossible ways to realise both collaborative and
individual projects. In another “first”, Olga Chernysheva andAnna Jermolaewa
together with their students, will work closely with the curators in Anders
Kreuger‘s course, and reflect on how pictures function and what they signify.
They will also collaborate in mounting a final presentation.
The programme approaches topical questions of contemporary art,
curating and writing about art. The course subjects, the techniques
taught and the teaching methods are widely diverse, but the link between them
is the quest for contemporaneity – examining current aesthetic, political,
social – and thus artistic – questions, and for new forms of expression.
