STUDIO-BASED TEACHING & CRITS

Art Programme (AP) runs studio intensives and studio crits for experienced artists (post-bachelors or equivalency). The intensives are facilitated by fellow artists with successful, local and international exhibition practices that span the full range of methods and materials, bolsted by extensive studio teaching experiences.  

A focus of AP studio tuition is to establish supportive and collegial studio crit sessions, in line with our aim to build strong community connections.

Our studio pracs provide valuable environments to either deepen an existing practice, or to rethink or relaunch a new direction, method or medium.Steven Rhall. 'Tanderrum (inverted plinth) 2022

The sculpture operates on various levels in response to its siting on Wurundjeri Country within the Edinburgh Gardens.

Its primary operation subverts and inverts the colonial history and associated power of its ‘base,’ including that of the gardens, which continue to operate as a vestige of the site (and broader Narrm’s) colonial layers.

It articulates First People’s identity, resilience, strength, self-determination and connection to the area as supported via the work’s discrete aesthetic elements.

FILMMAKING WORKSHOPS WITH Ruth Höflich

Art Programme is running a 5-week series of workshops for artists who work with moving image and screen technologies. Each participant will bring a project to work on and all stages of development are welcome — conceptual, production, editing/ post-production.

Critical feedback on the technical and conceptual aspects of the film/project will form an important part of the workshop.

The types of themes covered:

• The effects of different recording technologies (analogue, video tape, digital)
  
• Narrative and voice
  
• Theories of duration and place (time and space)
  
• Montage/editing strategies
  
• The pursuit of sensation
  
• The demands of installing film in a gallery context.
  
• Absorption versus rupture for intellectual and/or political effects
  

5 x 3.5 hours will be broken into:  I-hour tuition, I-hour development, I-hour critical feedback, half-hour break.
