Doelstellingen
Students participate in four seminars, depending on the theoretical needs encountered in the course
of their study and from the perspective of their own artistic practice and theoretical interests.
Seminars are incorporated into the Master’s programme as a specific form of study, in which
theoretical content is transmitted in a flexible and open working structure, subject to intervention and
dialogue on the part of students.
Seminars are partly supported by the artistic and theoretical investigations currently being conducted
at the KASK, so that students are engaged in seminars that focus on pertinent problems and themes.
The student chooses 4 theoretical seminars that are relevant for his/her artistic andpersonal
development.
The theoretical seminars provide in a flexible and open format that allows for dialogueand
participation of the students.
These seminars represent the theoretical or artistic research that is conducted byteachers at KASK.
By means of the seminars students have the opportunity to getacquainted with the challenges,
problems and themes of the conducted research.
Leerinhoud
Each seminar comprises a single unit of study within this segment of the programme.
Seminars focus on specific problems and investigations.
The seminars are thematic in nature and are not intended as overviews. In terms of content, seminars
in the Master’s programme may be on any subject or theme linked to the study areas of the visual
and audiovisual arts.
The specific focus of a seminar evolves from investigation by an instructor/lecturer.
The seminars may reach beyond the standard limits of specific artistic disciplines.
The seminar ‘Videoart: Review, Preview and Extensions’ focuses on the different aspectsof video art
by means of relevant audiovisual material or in a conversation with an invitedartist.
We start with an analysis of the role of the onlooker and question what it means to‘interpret’ a work of
video art. Next, an introduction to the history of video art is given.
Focal point of this review is to reconstruct the implications of video art in its initialhistorical context,
compared with what it stands for today. Concerning contemporaryvideo art, a preview is given based
on a discussion and illustration of general themes(e.g. remediation, immersion, documentary
performance, appropriation, re-enactment).For a profound study of contemporary video art, this
seminar includes extra case studiesby means of a symposium or talks with video artists (see infra).
Finally, with respect toextensions of video art, an overview is given of the crossovers with other media
like e.g.television, photography, performance, cinema or media art.
Extra case studies (free entrance):
_Symposium Double Take: Johan Grimonprez, 15 October '09(part of the festival 'Almost Cinema',
Vooruit, Theaterzaal)
_Kaskades #2 , evening program, Film-Plateau (screenings and talks with video artists)
