Students undertake study in one of the Studio Programs of Drawing, Printmaking, Painting, Photography or Sculpture and Spatial Practice. Description The Bachelor of Fine Art aims to produce professional practitioners in the contemporary visual arts. The subjects offered are shown below for the Studio Studies program. Within the Studio Studies program students choose from a menu of programs that provide a focus for their initial studies, according to specific technological and materials practices, such as the Photography Program that will introduce students to the technological and methods of both analogue and digital photographic practices. Similarly a student who opts for the Sculpture and Spatial Practice Program will be provided with the necessary skill and safe uses of materials. In addition to the major study in the studio students will be required to undertake the adjunct studies as a co-requisite including Critical and Theoretical Studies (CATS) and the courses delivered through the Common Curriculum. Course Structure Year 1 Studio Studies 1 Related Studies (discipline) 1 Critical and Theoretical Studies 1 The Artist in the World Part 1 Studio Studies 2 Related Studies (discipline) 2 Critical and Theoretical Studies 2 The Artist in the World Part 2 Year 2 Studio Studies 3 Critical and Theoretical Studies 3 The World in the Artist 2A Studio Studies 4 Elective or Independent Study Program Critical and Theoretical Studies 4 The World in the Artist 2B Year 3 Studio Studies 5 Critical and Theoretical Studies 5 Collaborative Contract Studio Studies 6 Critical and Theoretical Studies 6 Professional Development Objectives The objectives of this course are to: * produce professional practitioners in the contemporary visual arts; * enable students to learn the skills and techniques required for contemporary art production; * encourage the simultaneous development of students’ conceptual and technical abilities by providing a study program that is designed to relate to the practical and theoretical requirement of visual art disciplines; * enhance student awareness of their relationship with and responsibility to their cultural environment and society by providing opportunities for informed critical enquiry, social interaction and cultural exploration during their studies; * allow students, if they so desire, to move away from medium-dominated directions in their art activities; * enable student learning in aspects of the history and theory of the visual arts and culture in order to build up their understanding and knowledge of the past and present; * enable students to prepare themselves for postgraduate study; * provide opportunities for students to work in a range of mediums of their choosing. Top Prerequisites Applicants are required to have satisfactorily completed VCE or Year 12 equivalent with study score of at least 25 in Units 3 and 4 English (any). Applicants must also attend an interview and present a folio. Top Generic Skills At the completion of the course or subject students should be able to: * demonstrate capacities for artistic imagination, creativity, transformation and interpretation; * demonstrate practical skills in respect of critical analysis, problem solving, report writing, team work and oral and written communication; * demonstrate a flexible and innovative approach to the national and international challenges for the professional visual artist in the 21st century; * work at various levels, both as an individual and as a team member, in a wide variety of visual artistic environments; * demonstrate an open, independent and inquiring attitude towards contemporary cultural developments and new ideas; * understand their relationship with and responsibility to their cultural environment and society. Top Student Commitment Contact and supervised studio hours have been included in each of the major study subject descriptions to accurately reflect the mode of teaching and supervision. Contact hours include attendance at classes, tutorials, workshops, demonstrations, other individual instruction and excursions. Supervised studio hours are the hours that students are expected to commit to working in their studios to fulfil course requirements. Top Assessment The Assessment statements in the subject descriptions should be read in conjunction with the information given in the following paragraphs. Assessment and grading will be decided through the exercise of professional judgement, the result being arrived at through the averaging of individual results supplied by each member of a panel. The panel may consist of the Head of the Studio Program and appropriate academic staff. The assessment of Critical and Theoretical Studies and Independent Studies Program subjects differs from this general pattern and students should refer to the Assessment statements for these subjects for information. The criteria for assessment are the successful completion of set subject requirements; demonstration of conceptual ability as indicated by the exploration of ideas, demonstration of critical capacity as evidenced by selection of work and level of critical process brought to bear on the project, item or program; evidence of independent work practices as demonstrated by the research for and development of work produced; technical, manipulative and perceptual skills displayed and the quality of the work submitted. Top Course Progression Guidelines The maximum time permitted for completion of the course is six years. The progress of a student will be deemed to be unsatisfactory if the student: (a) fails to pass 50 % of the total credit points in any semester; or (b) obtains two successive fails in any one subject. Top Qualification for Award The award of the Bachelor of Fine Art in the Studio Programs of Drawing, Printmaking, Painting, Photography or Sculpture and Spatial Practice requires the successful completion of the prescribed subjects.

The subject will introduce students to the key themes and ideas central to all performing and visual arts as interpreted by artists, philosophers and theorists. This subject is offered as a weekly lecture and tutorial program. We will proceed by looking at how these various themes inform processes and practices within and across art forms. Starting with Ideas and Interpretations which form points of intersection between the visual and performing arts we will explore pedagogical practices currently employed at the VCA, as well as analyse some of the technical, aesthetic and conceptual frameworks applied in the development of creative works. We will investigate the influences of various historical and contemporary contexts on the application and interpretation of these themes. In addition we will examine the possibilities for research in and through the arts leading to new modes of representation and the creation of new knowledge. A range of international and local visual artists, musicians, writers, directors, designers, composers, choreographers, performers, and filmmakers will present lectures about their own work that may coincide with the week’s tutorial topic. The weekly tutorial readings provide a theoretical context for analysing selected themes found in contemporary practice. During tutorial discussions, students will be encouraged to speculate and reflect upon the relationship between ideas encountered in the lectures, tutorials and readings, and their own studio practice.

Seminar Description: This seminar will introduce how aesthetic, sexual, and ideological subversives have used one of the most powerful art forms of our day to exchange or manipulate our conscious and unconscious, demystify visual taboos, destroy dated cinematic forms, and undermine existing value systems and institutions. This subversion of form, as well as of content, is placed within the context of the contemporary world view of science, philosophy, and modern art, and is illuminated by a detailed examination of films from Oren's collection including many rarely seen, or never released works. Avant-garde, underground, independent and exceptional commercial films will be viewed in their entire duration on a weekly basis followed by a group discussion and analysis. Assignment/Assessment: Students will be required to submit a 1500 word written research assignment investigating one of the films viewed in the course or a film of their choice that relates to the ideas and topics discussed in the seminar. Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance ECSTASY AND CREATION IN ART & SOUND Oren Ambarchi Fridays 11am - 1pm Seminar Description: Why does the artist feel compelled to create? How do we respond to a "great" work of art? What lies beneath the surface of art and what gives it its transcendent power? Is art the primary catalyst for experiences of expanded consciousness? From the beginning of time humanity has embraced sound and art in their esoteric traditions, folklore, myth and ecstatic rituals. Does sound and art play a similar function in the modern world? In this course we will explore these questions and ideas through the works of various composers, artists and filmmakers, via metaphysical teachings and, most importantly, through our own work and experiences as artists today. Assignment/Assessment: Keeping in mind the topics and issues we are exploring, each student is required to choose a work that you find extraordinary, something you feel connected to, something that transports you. It could be a film, a photograph, a performance piece, a genre, a movement, a space, a sound work, a book etc. After a brief presentation and explanation on why this particular work interests and inspires you, students are then required to create and present a new work of your own in your chosen discipline in response to this older work, with your personal stamp.

Seminar Description: The long-standing feminist effort to counter the claim that anatomy is destiny basically consists in theorizing and "enacting" the following premise: sexual difference is not determined by biology but is to be understood as a social structure that positions male and female people asymmetrically in relation to social and economic power, to language and to meaning. The argument that "technical reproduction not only changes the reaction of the masses to art [but] calls the masses into being in their late-modern and postmodern forms as subjects, not of nature, but of technology" (Camilla Griggers), will help guide this exploration, as will equally the hypothesis that an enactment of "sexual difference" engenders a materially different "space" in the forms of visual art we will focus on. Assignment/Assessment: Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance DIALOGUE WRITING Raimondo Cortese Fridays 2pm-4pm Seminar Description: The seminar focuses on writing dialogue and scenes for theatre, film or TV. The work involves a direct and intensive exploration of the written material. The focus is on action, on what words do (to the performer speaking and being spoken to). Dramatic dialogue is dynamic – it inspires change. Students are encouraged to treat their dialogues as verbal creations, to be spoken out then written, without censoring or judging what happens. A series of simple exercises are used to allow the students to focus on action. The aim is to not ‘interpret’ or ‘shut down’ the dialogue, but to instead focus on the complex reality of what is actually happening between people rather than what is literally happening. From there we discover where rewriting is required. We will also be exploring dialogues from theatre and film classics. Assignment/Assessment: By the end of the seminar participants will be required to hand in their written material. This can be a short play, film or TV script or a series of dialogues that defy strict categorisation. Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance ASYMMETRIES – ART, SCIENCE AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS Chris Henschke Fridays 2pm-4pm Subject/Seminar Description: This seminar series will investigate relationships between artistic and scientific practice, and the roles of technology in the art/ science equation. Through informed research and practical engagement, students will creatively explore the tensions and connections between the two traditions, and the associated effects of and on technology. Seminars will include a survey of (mainly western) art and science over the last few millennia, focussing on points of convergence and divergence; this will be complemented by examples of contemporary art and science, featuring guest speakers from both fields and cross-disciplinary researchers (and possibly field-trips to research facilities). The theoretical side of the seminar series will be balanced by collaborative and individual project work. Practical engagement and experimentation is encouraged, allowing individual heuristic methodologies to develop, with theory informing practice and practice informing theory. Assignment/Assessment: Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance THE REMEMBERING THE 20TH CENTURY COMMITTEE PRESENTS: SLAVE PIANOS PIANOLOGY: A SCHEMA AND HISTORO-MATERIALIST PRO-GNOSTIC Danius Kesminas, Rohan Drape (with Michael Stevenson, Neil Kelly & David Nelson) Subject/Seminar Description: A broad ranging pedagogical, theoretical, philosophical and methodological analysis of the interconnections between 20th century artistic and musical histories as seen through the lens of SLAVE PIANOS’ `re-composition’ of sound works by visual artists. The seminars will be presented as a series of “case studies”. By precise analysis of the particular case the course will navigate a sequence of paths through the documented history of 20th century artistic practices, drawing connections between temporally, geographically, politically and disciplinary disparate materials. Danius Kesminas and Rohan Drape have worked together for ten years as (half of) SLAVE PIANOS, making extensively researched, closely argued and densely referential works that have been performed, installed and published in Kassel, Edinburgh, Melbourne, Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, St Petersburg, Moscow, Aachen, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Ballarat, Wiesbaden, Vilnius, Berlin and Brisbane. Assignment/Assessment: Students are required to prepare a work that demonstrates an active engagement with one of the historical traces introduced and examined in the course. The work may be in any medium the student prefers, ie. text, music, drawing, painting, photography, video, dance, etc. Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance ZEN PAINTING AND POETRY Prof Richard Perry Fridays 11am-1pm Subject/Seminar Description: This course will introduce students to major painters and poets within the Chinese and Japanese traditions of Zen Buddhist art.

The influence of Zen Buddhist aesthetics on ceramics and garden design will also be discussed. Students will be expected to participate freely in seminar discussions, and assessed assignments will include one haiku poem, one brief essay, and one short quiz. Assignment/Assessment: Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work (1500 words) comprising Haiku, Short Essay and Quiz 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES Bruce Mowson Fridays 11am-1pm Subject/Seminar Description: How closely has your eye stretched across the visible, or your ear across the audible? Do sensations on your skin affect the images you make, or do sights inform the music you create? What are sensations? How do our senses work with our thoughts, and how do we use this flow to make ideas and artworks? In this seminar, we will extend the senses through studio and fieldwork, explore artworks and artists who have worked primarily with them, and discuss artistic and cultural contexts that affect them. Some of the topics will include blindness, punk rock, subjectivity, sound, erotica, music, light, color, minimalism, structuralist film, synaesthesia, phenomenology, neurology, deafness and blindness, audio-vision, Light and Space art, interactivity, virtuality, immersion and performance. Some of the people we will look at include James Turrell, The Flicker, In the Realm of the Senses etc. Assignment/Assessment: Create an artistic work, either by yourself or in collaboration that explores sense and sensation in specific ways. Present this in the final class, together with a folio of work in progress sketches, reference materials, notes about your contribution (if collaborating). Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance NIETZSCHE AND DELEUZE: CREATIVE LIFE Dr Ashley Woodward Fridays 11am-1pm Subject/Seminar Description: This seminar introduces and explores the relations between life and creativity in two of the most stimulating and influential philosophers of art: Friedrich Nietzsche and Gilles Deleuze. For both Nietzsche and Deleuze, life is understood as an essentially creative process, and harnessing our own creativity is a matter of breaking through the clichés and habits which imprison life within depressive and repressive structures. The seminar will introduce the works and key concepts of these philosophers, such as Nietzsche’s “nihilism,” “will to power,” “eternal return,” and “overman,” and Deleuze’s “rhizome,” “becoming,” “multiplicity,” “virtual,” and “difference.” It will also explore the ways these concepts may be developed in relation to a variety of art forms, including music, painting, literature, cinema, and new media arts. Assessment/Assignment: Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance ‘NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE?’ – THE AFTERLIFE IN THEORY AND THE ARTS Boris Eldagsen Fridays 11am-1pm Seminar Description: Based on humanity’s never-ending attempt to solve the mysteries surrounding death, Boris Eldagsen has developed a fearless seminar that invites us to take a look beyond life. ‘NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE?’ (NOHGOA) will provide an introduction into the age-old longing for eternity, as expressed in various theories about the afterlife. Theory here is understood as any text or notion that has developed an idea on the afterlife, from philosophy to religion, parapsychology to quantum physics. The arts and their interplay with theory will play a major part in the seminar. Join us and meet dying and dead people, ghosts, gods and rockstars. Bang your head to Death Metal, enter the visual worlds of Hieronymous Bosch and Bill Viola, get goosebumps watching Horror Movies and analyse Documentaries.

POAESTHETICS: BODIES OF WAR IN ART AND PERFORMANCE IN THE (LONG) 20TH CENTURY Adam Broinowski Fridays 11am-1pm or 2pm-4pm Seminar Description: This seminar provides views from the body in war through key samples of 20th century political performance and art. Artists have long recorded, reflected and reacted to the terror, cruelty, and pathos of war. But since the First World War, shocked out of their preconception that civilization had advanced beyond barbarity, influential artists opposed war by rupturing the way it was represented. In providing a surface to touch to become critically aware of the burning lava of fear, joy and pride in war, artists over this century (Dix/Grosz/Hoch/Heartfield, Artaud/Brecht, Lanzmann/Ibuse, Hijikata/ Schneeman/The Living Theatre/Oshima, La Fura dels Baus/Dead Kennedys/Godard, Botero/Serra/Banksy to name a few!) have often been uncomfortably out of place, exiles in their own societies while addressing the theme of war. What does the study of this violence and conflict through the art and performance of the sublime reveal? Is war ‘natural’? Assignment/Assessment: Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance JOURNEY TO THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH Elizabeth Presa Fridays 2pm-4pm Seminar Description: In this seminar, we journey to the surface of the earth to explore how humans navigate its varied terrains. We will explore, in our own way, the earth’s physical aspects taking into account such things as its biodiversity (the variety of plants, animals and micro-organisms, their genes and ecosystems), weather patterns and geological features, as well as mythological, cultural and political histories. Our explorations will encompass the microscopic to macro as we move from the surface of our skin, to the latitude of our backyards and beyond. Our task as explores is to negotiate and illuminate what is around us, to seek out what lies unnoticed or hidden form view, and to discover new vistas, terrains and ways of experiencing them. One important thing to consider is how ‘academically traditional’ and ‘rational’ forms of documentation and data collection can be shifted into mobile processes that may involve contradiction and substitution, and thereby open up new possibilities for interpretation and understanding. Assignment/Assessment: Contribution and participation in seminar discussion 25% Total written work or equivalent project comprising 1500 words 75% Hurdle requirement: 80% attendance LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING: EAST AND WEST David Shea Fridays 11am-1pm or 2pm-4pm Subject/Seminar Description: This seminar is an in-depth look at the traditional divide between the cultures, philosophies, perceptions and approaches to the body in Eastern and Western models. Themes explored include scientific and spiritual cosmologies, eastern and western medicine, evolutionary ideas and creation stories, eastern and western architecture, rationality and meditation, martial arts and body enhancement, anatomical and holistic bodies, and mysticism. There will be a strong concentration on current research in fields relating to the communication between traditional opposites such as quantum physics and its relation to spiritual views of time and space, art, music and literature, as well as medical research into meditation and martial arts.

FILM AS SUBVERSIVE ART

Oren Ambarchi

Thursdays 4pm - 6 pm

Please note that this seminar will run on a Thursday afternoon on the following dates: Feb 19, 26, March 5, 12, 19, 26, April 2, 23, 30, May 7.

Seminar Description:

This seminar will introduce how aesthetic, sexual, and ideological subversives have used one of the most powerful art forms of our day to exchange or manipulate our conscious and unconscious, demystify visual taboos, destroy dated cinematic forms, and undermine existing value systems and institutions. This subversion of form, as well as of content, is placed within the context of the contemporary world view of science, philosophy, and modern art, and is illuminated by a detailed examination of films from Oren's collection including many rarely seen, or never released works. Avant-garde, underground, independent and exceptional commercial films will be viewed in their entire duration on a weekly basis followed by a group discussion and analysis.

Assignment/Assessment:

Students will be required to submit a 1500 word written research assignment investigating one of the films viewed in the course or a film of their choice that relates to the ideas and topics discussed in the seminar.

ECSTASY AND CREATION IN ART & SOUND

Oren Ambarchi

Fridays 11am - 1pm

Seminar Description:

Why does the artist feel compelled to create? How do we respond to a "great" work of art? What lies beneath the surface of art and what gives it its transcendent power? Is art the primary catalyst for experiences of expanded consciousness?

From the beginning of time humanity has embraced sound and art in their esoteric traditions, folklore, myth and ecstatic rituals. Does sound and art play a similar function in the modern world?

In this course we will explore these questions and ideas through the works of various composers, artists and filmmakers, via metaphysical teachings and, most importantly, through our own work and experiences as artists today.

Assignment/Assessment:

Keeping in mind the topics and issues we are exploring, each student is required to choose a work that you find extraordinary, something you feel connected to, something that transports you. It could be a film, a photograph, a performance piece, a genre, a movement, a space, a sound work, a book etc. After a brief presentation and explanation on why this particular work interests and inspires you, students are then required to create and present a new work of your own in your chosen discipline in response to this older work, with your personal stamp.

FEMINISM'S SPACES IN THE AGE OF (POST)MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION: CONTEMPORARY INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN GENDER AND VISUAL CULTURE

Louise Burchill

Subject schedule: Thursdays 2pm - 4.30pm

Please note that this seminar is run on a Thursday afternoon on the following dates Feb 19, 26, March 5, 12, 19, 26 & 2 April and will conclude prior to the Easter Break.

Seminar Description:

The long-standing feminist effort to counter the claim that anatomy is destiny basically consists in theorizing and "enacting" the following premise: sexual difference is not determined by biology but is to be understood as a social structure that positions male and female people asymmetrically in relation to social and economic power, to language and to meaning.

The argument that "technical reproduction not only changes the reaction of the masses to art [but] calls the masses into being in their late-modern and postmodern forms as subjects, not of nature, but of technology" (Camilla Griggers), will help guide this exploration, as will equally the hypothesis that an enactment of "sexual difference" engenders a materially different "space" in the forms of visual art we will focus on.

DIALOGUE WRITING

Raimondo Cortese

Fridays 2pm-4pm

Seminar Description:

The seminar focuses on writing dialogue and scenes for theatre, film or TV. The work involves a direct and intensive exploration of the written material. The focus is on action, on what words do (to the performer speaking and being spoken to).

Dramatic dialogue is dynamic – it inspires change. Students are encouraged to treat their dialogues as verbal creations, to be spoken out then written, without censoring or judging what happens. A series of simple exercises are used to allow the students to focus on action.

The aim is to not ‘interpret’ or ‘shut down’ the dialogue, but to instead focus on the complex reality of what is actually happening between people rather than what is literally happening. From there we discover where rewriting is required. We will also be exploring dialogues from theatre and film classics.

Assignment/Assessment:

By the end of the seminar participants will be required to hand in their written material. This can be a short play, film or TV script or a series of dialogues that defy strict categorisation.

ASYMMETRIES – ART, SCIENCE AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS

Chris Henschke

Fridays 2pm-4pm

Subject/Seminar Description:

This seminar series will investigate relationships between artistic and scientific practice, and the roles of technology in the art/ science equation. Through informed research and practical engagement, students will creatively explore the tensions and connections between the two traditions, and the associated effects of and on technology.

Seminars will include a survey of (mainly western) art and science over the last few millennia, focussing on points of convergence and divergence; this will be complemented by examples of contemporary art and science, featuring guest speakers from both fields and cross-disciplinary researchers (and possibly field-trips to research facilities).

The theoretical side of the seminar series will be balanced by collaborative and individual project work. Practical engagement and experimentation is encouraged, allowing individual heuristic methodologies to develop, with theory informing practice and practice informing theory.

THE REMEMBERING THE 20TH CENTURY COMMITTEE PRESENTS: SLAVE PIANOS PIANOLOGY: A SCHEMA AND HISTORO-MATERIALIST PRO-GNOSTIC

Danius Kesminas, Rohan Drape (with Michael Stevenson, Neil Kelly & David Nelson)

Subject/Seminar Description:

A broad ranging pedagogical, theoretical, philosophical and methodological analysis of the interconnections between 20th century artistic and musical histories as seen through the lens of SLAVE PIANOS’ `re-composition’ of sound works by visual artists.

The seminars will be presented as a series of “case studies”. By precise analysis of the particular case the course will navigate a sequence of paths through the documented history of 20th century artistic practices, drawing connections between temporally, geographically, politically and disciplinary disparate materials.

Danius Kesminas and Rohan Drape have worked together for ten years as (half of) SLAVE PIANOS, making extensively researched, closely argued and densely referential works that have been performed, installed and published in Kassel, Edinburgh, Melbourne, Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, St Petersburg, Moscow, Aachen, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Ballarat, Wiesbaden, Vilnius, Berlin and Brisbane.

Assignment/Assessment:

Students are required to prepare a work that demonstrates an active engagement with one of the historical traces introduced and examined in the course. The work may be in any medium the student prefers, ie. text, music, drawing, painting, photography, video, dance, etc.

IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES

Bruce Mowson

Fridays 11am-1pm

Subject/Seminar Description:

How closely has your eye stretched across the visible, or your ear across the audible? Do sensations on your skin affect the images you make, or do sights inform the music you create? What are sensations? How do our senses work with our thoughts, and how do we use this flow to make ideas and artworks?

In this seminar, we will extend the senses through studio and fieldwork, explore artworks and artists who have worked primarily with them, and discuss artistic and cultural contexts that affect them. Some of the topics will include blindness, punk rock, subjectivity, sound, erotica, music, light, color, minimalism, structuralist film, synaesthesia, phenomenology, neurology, deafness and blindness, audio-vision, Light and Space art, interactivity, virtuality, immersion and performance. Some of the people we will look at include James Turrell, The Flicker, In the Realm of the Senses etc.

Assignment/Assessment:

Create an artistic work, either by yourself or in collaboration that explores sense and sensation in specific ways. Present this in the final class, together with a folio of work in progress sketches, reference materials, notes about your contribution (if collaborating).

NIETZSCHE AND DELEUZE: CREATIVE LIFE

Dr Ashley Woodward

Fridays 11am-1pm

Subject/Seminar Description:

This seminar introduces and explores the relations between life and creativity in two of the most stimulating and influential philosophers of art: Friedrich Nietzsche and Gilles Deleuze. For both Nietzsche and Deleuze, life is understood as an essentially creative process, and harnessing our own creativity is a matter of breaking through the clichés and habits which imprison life within depressive and repressive structures.

The seminar will introduce the works and key concepts of these philosophers, such as Nietzsche’s “nihilism,” “will to power,” “eternal return,” and “overman,” and Deleuze’s “rhizome,” “becoming,” “multiplicity,” “virtual,” and “difference.” It will also explore the ways these concepts may be developed in relation to a variety of art forms, including music, painting, literature, cinema, and new media arts.

‘NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE?’ – THE AFTERLIFE IN THEORY AND THE ARTS

Boris Eldagsen

Fridays 11am-1pm

Seminar Description:

Based on humanity’s never-ending attempt to solve the mysteries surrounding death, Boris Eldagsen has developed a fearless seminar that invites us to take a look beyond life. ‘NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE?’ (NOHGOA) will provide an introduction into the age-old longing for eternity, as expressed in various theories about the afterlife. Theory here is understood as any text or notion that has developed an idea on the afterlife, from philosophy to religion, parapsychology to quantum physics. The arts and their interplay with theory will play a major part in the seminar.

Join us and meet dying and dead people, ghosts, gods and rockstars. Bang your head to Death Metal, enter the visual worlds of Hieronymous Bosch and Bill Viola, get goosebumps watching Horror Movies and analyse Documentaries.

POAESTHETICS: BODIES OF WAR IN ART AND PERFORMANCE IN THE (LONG) 20TH CENTURY

Adam Broinowski

Fridays 11am-1pm or 2pm-4pm

Seminar Description:

This seminar provides views from the body in war through key samples of 20th century political performance and art. Artists have long recorded, reflected and reacted to the terror, cruelty, and pathos of war. But since the First World War, shocked out of their preconception that civilization had advanced beyond barbarity, influential artists opposed war by rupturing the way it was represented.

In providing a surface to touch to become critically aware of the burning lava of fear, joy and pride in war, artists over this century (Dix/Grosz/Hoch/Heartfield, Artaud/Brecht, Lanzmann/Ibuse, Hijikata/ Schneeman/The Living Theatre/Oshima, La Fura dels Baus/Dead Kennedys/Godard, Botero/Serra/Banksy to name a few!) have often been uncomfortably out of place, exiles in their own societies while addressing the theme of war. What does the study of this violence and conflict through the art and performance of the sublime reveal? Is war ‘natural’?

JOURNEY TO THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH

Elizabeth Presa

Fridays 2pm-4pm

Seminar Description:

In this seminar, we journey to the surface of the earth to explore how humans navigate its varied terrains. We will explore, in our own way, the earth’s physical aspects taking into account such things as its biodiversity (the variety of plants, animals and micro-organisms, their genes and ecosystems), weather patterns and geological features, as well as mythological, cultural and political histories. Our explorations will encompass the microscopic to macro as we move from the surface of our skin, to the latitude of our backyards and beyond. Our task as explores is to negotiate and illuminate what is around us, to seek out what lies unnoticed or hidden form view, and to discover new vistas, terrains and ways of experiencing them.

One important thing to consider is how ‘academically traditional’ and ‘rational’ forms of documentation and data collection can be shifted into mobile processes that may involve contradiction and substitution, and thereby open up new possibilities for interpretation and understanding.
