Mini-Programme Themes
Elevating the OrdinaryNarratives on the ‘Everyday’ Andrea Peach
This programme will look at the idea of ‘the
everyday’ and its influence in contemporary
art, design and material culture. It will
examine the history of how everyday
objects have influenced art and design, and
why ‘readymades’ continue to provide a
source of inspiration to contemporary artists
and designers.
Using examples from contemporary art and design, the programme will
consider different narratives that encompass the notion of the everyday
including: Situating the Everyday, the Secret Meaning of Things,
the Strangely Familiar and Elevating the Ordinary.
Art & Psyche[on fairy tales, mud and horror]
Themes: the uncanny; the unconscious, fantasy and gestalt; fetishism; individuation, archetype and neurosis; abjection and semiotic chora.
Art & Psyche[on fairy tales, mud and horror]
The psyche as a machine for transforming the real or evading the real? Our subjectivity formed in relation to both a pleasure principle and a reality principle, self and society caught in perpetual conflict and anxiety?
The modern discourse of psychoanalysis, as formulated in the work of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Julia Kristeva, offers helpful ways in approaching contemporary art.
Lectures and seminars explore particular works by artists - video, photographs, sculpture and installation -and short texts on key concepts from the three theorists.
Tutor: Allan Harkness
Between the Lines
This programme aims to examine the nature of knowledge through the work of artists and designers who challenge the boundaries of art and science. A key question is, whether nature and humanity are best understood through fact, reason and scientific system or whether value remains in the perspective of the creative arts? What questions do creative practitioners ask and what do they reveal about the true nature of knowledge and the structure of our world?
Lecture themes:
• Critiquing thought, reason and progress. Programme tutor: Lesley Scott
• Order and chaos. Form, pattern and structure.
• The seen, the unseen and the unknowable.
Students can state preference for a particular programme, and will be allocated accordingly
Places will be limited to ensure that all programmes are filled
