Sommerakademie Traunkirchen Course Program 2013

The sixth Sommerakademie Traunkirchen will take place from June 30 - August 24, 2013, and this year will focus on painting, graphic art, drawing, and photography.

Xenia Hausner, Irina Nakhova, Christian Ludwig Attersee and Manfred Hebenstreit will lead the 'Painting' classes and will offer differentiated approaches to this artistic means of depiction. Graphic arts are also enriching to painters; experience with this medium can be gained or deepened during the graphic arts course led by Konrad Winter. Margarita Broich and Leo Kandl will teach in Traunkirchen for the first time. Their courses concentrates on 'Photography', whereby both photographic as well as experimental experiences are examined. The goal is to train one's vision and to determine the criteria for artistic photography. The prerequisites for Ulrike Lienbacher's 'Drawing and Forming' is letting go to be open to new experiences.

This year, eight courses are being offered for approximately 160 students. The Sommerakademie Traunkirchen is open to eveyone over the age of 17 with an interest in art; to apply, submit application materials (registration form, CV and images of one's own work). Each course concludes with a public school exhibition. Further event dates and the public framework program with lectures by artists as well as events organized in cooperation with the Salzkammergut Festwochen Gmunden, the Kunstforum Salzkammergut, and the Galerie 442 ,will be announced in June.

The participation fee for the Sommerakadamie is € 690 (reduced fee € 540) for a two-week course and € 440 (reduced fee € 365) for a one-week course.
