18 July – 6 August 2011
What do pictures tell us? Our world is full of them, and there should be good reasons for adding to them. Anyone who exhibits something is thereby creating new realities, and strictly speaking, exhibition is a medium. The creative field of tension which is the focus of this course extends between artefact and document. The course evokes not so much the materiality of art, as its potential for intensifying aesthetic experiences and finding suitable models. It is designed for those with unreserved interest in both theory and practice. The end result may be pictures, installations, performances, texts, lectures or new ideas.

CHRISTIAN PHILIPP MÜLLER / Acts with objects in urban space, performance and sculpture
8 - 27 August 2011
www.summeracademy.at/Acts-with-objects-in-urban-space--performance-and-sculpture_97_p115.html
The course is in three parts: designing an act in public space, defining sculptural objects and developing modes of documentation as an art forum. During the course, details will be worked out for actions for the urban space of Salzburg Old Town. Therefore objects and portable sculptures will be produced and ideal locations and times for implementation will be established. The aim is to stage one's own body in urban space, improvising with objects and other performers.
