At the Academy, instructors translate their practice and research into a pedagogic relationship with participants to explore contemporary art practices in mutually interrogative, personal, and enduring ways. Conversations are undertaken with a view toward materialising art-related ideas or transmitting them into research and life.

This year’s programme focuses on various contemporary approaches to sound, music, and performances, such as activist voicing (Weiner / Marin / Saraya, Hoffmann / Zuabi), dingolaying (Santiago), music-making (Meyers), transforming bodies and ecologies (Choksi, Cnaani, Ismaili, Nowak, Sterre), together with queer archiving and mapping (Bustos, Doğtaş, Gufler, Radiszewski), collective-oriented practices (Bergmann / Reifler), patterns and sizes (Tilson, Thun), and narrating art and philosophy (Amir, Sarker).

Course fees 
Two-week course: 670 Euro (495 Euro), three-week course: 890 Euro (635 Euro). Course fees do not include artist’s materials. Students, welfare recipients and the Society of Friends members are eligible for reduced fees.
