Brief course description

For the master’s degree programme Art and Public Space, each student’s main project is what is called the Master Project. This can consist of one single project or a combination of several smaller projects that refer to, explore, comment on or interact with public space. In the course called Master Project 1, Autumn, students will start on their master project, which will continue to develop throughout the entire study programme. By the end of the semester, the students will present the idea for their master project, research methods and other thoughts regarding the project’s further development during the spring semester. The artistic work can take different forms ranging from traditional sculpture in various media or architecturally-based installations to relational art and social interventions.
