The aim of SAAR is to discuss in depth participants’ doctoral projects within the developing discourses of art practice and research. The Summer Academy provides a supportive setting where artist-researchers from all fields collaborate, present their ongoing artistic work and research and receive feedback from experienced tutors and peers from leading academic institutions. The academy aims to reflect the international diversity and scope of artistic research and to provide a stimulating intellectual environment. It seeks to clarify, discuss and develop further emerging themes and issues arising out of the individual doctoral projects of the participants within the framework of artistic research.
The versatile activities include individual presentations of the participants’ projects, discussions and feedback in plenary sessions and working groups, individual tutoring and collective work. The working language is English.
A “One day trip” to St. Petersburg will be offered as a part of the Summer School curriculum. The Doctoral Students will have a opportunity to visit Manifesta 10 at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
