Full description: |
The objective of the course, namely for students to come in direct contact with art, will be pursued in different places and different formats – meetings, discussions, occasionally lectures (but not at the university). On principle, the classes will involve people from outside the university staff (as teachers or discussion participants) – curators of the exhibitions visited, museologists presenting the principles of exposition, people who run galleries, teachers from the Academy of Fine Arts, artists, art critics etc. The syllabus is flexible, depending largely on current exhibitions, artistic and cultural events as well as the interests and needs of the participants. |
