Syllabus
Students will develop the ability to reflect on their own work in a broader context. Apart from the mandatory studio meetings, consultations, analysis of students' major projects and semestrial work (archive and appropriation), students should try the work as a curator and explore opportunities to present their art works. Students must find the consultants for the master thesis.
Topic of semestrial work might change during the process.
