MFA Public Art and New Artistic Strategies

2 Years On Campus Masters Program

Bauhaus University Weimar

Program Overview

The artistic and theoretical examination of these thematic areas takes place in real projects, i.e. context-related works are developed and installed in public space in cooperation with various partners. The ideas for artistic intervention in public space originate from the students' artistic approaches and entail independent development of an individual work. The forms of interventions include temporary installations, sculptures, actions and performances. Digital media has expanded the scope of public space to include virtual environments. The works frequently make reference to current political, cultural and social issues, as well as the status of public art. In addition to theoretically examining individual positions, the term public is also a central research topic.
