Overview

At Fine Arts from University of Gothenburg you are taught to identify, pose, and artistically respond to questions about a topic, challenge, problem, or phenomenon etc. as prioritised by you. Art production is key to your response. You will incrementally develop skills to design, implement, contextualise, share, and evaluate your own projects. We call these projects ‘Artistic Enquiries’.

Quick Facts:

Artistic Enquiries are projects designed to increase knowledge for others, not just oneself. Your projects are formed through being taught how to apply research methods and skills – relevant for art and artists – that fuse art practices and production with theories and contextualisation. Writing and documenting processes also play a role.
Over four terms you will learn how to make increasingly specific and nuanced artistic projects, with their own systems and logic, to ask questions about publicness and the roles of art and the artist.
Graduates include artists exhibiting in galleries, museums, and biennials. Others have established alternative platforms to those of the conventional art world. We have educated activists, cultural producers, researchers, academics, curators, critics, writers, educators, commercial gallerists, DJs, tattooists and farmers.

Programme Structure

The first year introduces concepts of publicness and the artist’s role in society. You will identify subjects for artistic investigation, test methods and materials, and locate relevant theories. You will learn to question why, where, when, and how artistic projects operate in the public sphere—for whom, and in what forms.

During the second year, you will rigorously practice artistic investigative skills, increasing your competence by accounting for strategies, decision-making, and theoretical relevance. In term 3 you will write a substantial text and develop processes of for an artistic enquiry. Term 4 includes a co-generative project in the public sphere and you complete your enquiry and establish your future path.
