Visual Arts and Post-Contemporary Practice

Overview

In an interdisciplinary learning environment, students have the opportunity to develop independent and collaborative research projects. Through a theoretically informed, critical and reflexive approach, students develop and evaluate their practice in a peer-to-peer context.

We offer a research environment that connects cultural studies, visual and digital cultures and we invite students to generate strategies and speculative as well as materialist praxes that might expand the social and aesthetic sensorium of society. Students are stimulated to re-envision artistic engagement through an open ended and creative process.

The aim of the Visual Arts and Post-Contemporary Practice Master programme offered by St. Joost Master Institute for Visual Cultures is to enable starting artists to develop intellectual and practical skills and the confidence to do what every new generation of artists has to do: to redefine their practice and their role in relation to society.

Professional future

We are living through one of the most exceptional of times. Students will learn not only how to respond to the current challenges and opportunities, but also how to shape this new reality. 

Your studies will take place within a broad community of Master’s students from many different backgrounds. Engaging with people from all over the world in a 24/7, the interdisciplinary environment will enrich your practice and allow you to build a unique support network of peers and professionals.
