PREAMBLE

This Autumn intensive is a dedicated, temporary research programme in the form of a micro lab, operative online. While it forms a more common ground for processing non-reproducible knowledges its focus is particularly on forms and voicings of visual thinking–or where/how/when forms and voicing are becoming a kind of visual thinking.  

Interdisciplinary in format, Autumn intensive brings together young artists researchers who will share both an individual as well as a collective reflection with art professionals and various scholars around specific source materials and past and present movements that stretch disciplinary limits and normative artistic-critical thinking.     

For this first materialisation of Autumn Intensive, the theme of Emergent stands as a figure and metaphor. Emergent as in the process of coming into being; or knowledge as an emergent of a particular sensuous reasoning that pushes disciplinary boundaries.  

Overall, the content of Autumn intensive ranges from philosophy, art theory and art history, to art science and media studies, and critical theory in relation to contemporary discussions in art, literature.    

Autumn intensive aims at supporting a writing-research project over a limited amount of time, through seminars, writing exercises, outside-of-class assignments, culminating in a research proposal that will have been shared with fellow students and by some of Autumn intensive’s conductors-guests. To this end, the participants submit a solid and promising research proposal at the end of the course.     

Inclusive by its nature, Autumn intensive is hence an online (poststudio) course that attempts to establish various kinds of singular knowledges on the basis of individual research proposals that are processed throughout Emergent’s limited timeframe.   As an extended ‘meeting without walls’ it is open to postgraduate students who are invited to join after responding to an open call. Emergent hosts maximum 25 participants-students without limiting the community to a local–site specific multitude. Postgraduate students from the arts, but also other disciplines, and working in any genre – whether academic, criticism, curatorial, fiction, theory – are welcome.  

The assessment consists of active participation in seminars and presentation of the student's individual project.
