Performing Public Space is committed to understanding how cultural developments can produce meaningful change within our shared spaces, based on the idea that public space exists only when it is socially performed.
... able to navigate complex modes and methods surrounding the contemporary artistic process and result.
Master Performing Public Space is a blended learning programme. We combine continuous online and intensive on-site education. The online learning environment (distance learning) offers you a 24/7 platform for intensive research and creative dialogue with your peers and tutors. Intensive Weeks are hosted on-site in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
The attendance of the intensive weeks is mandatory. Every Intensive Week is tailor made but consists of the following modules: Artistic Research, Participation&Audience & Relation, Public Space Discourse, Network/Entrepreneurship, Artistic Workshops, Theory Lectures
The online learning environment (distance learning) offers students a 24/7 platform for intensive research and creative dialogue with their peers and mentors throughout the program.
You will have the opportunity to conduct a three-day-long mini-residency with a group in Tilburg. You'll collaborate with a local artist or a cultural (or other) organization, within the frame of the artistic research conducted by the Professorship Artistic Connective Practices. During this new initiative, participants will create their own proposals about artistic connectivity, design and test their prototypes and receive productive feedback.
The aim of these mini-residencies is to connect students with professionals in the Netherlands who share similar concerns regarding the relation of arts to public space, and offer them a local frame to experiment with different ways of being together, connecting and approaching ourselves, others and our neighborhoods.
Participants will receive a certificate of completion.
At the end of every academic year, PPS presents the work conducted by its students in the frame of the program in different formats. After finishing your project, you will have the opportunity to present it to a wider audience in exhibition spaces and/or during our graduation event. A printed catalogue and online project gallery are published every year containing the individual work of students and all collective projects developed.
