INTERNATIONAL COURSE IN CONTEMPORARY ART

Course of Study
A course of study for a group of international artists, who have already
started to move in a specific direction within their work and who would like
to participate in a three-week long intensive programme, which is offering
the opportunity to further develop their working practice. The course
focuses on helping artists to reach a heightened understanding of their work
in a wider artistic, cultural and theoretical context. Our aim is to
encourage and develop the production of new works, ideas and concepts
through giving access to a tutorial, seminar and workshop programme from an
international field of teaching staff drawn from Goldsmiths College, London,
the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts, Budapest as well as invited
internationally renowned artists.

Location
Tihany is a peninsula reaching out into Lake Balaton, the largest fresh
water lake in Central Europe.  The Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts' premises
where TIPP is based are the original agricultural buildings of the
Benedictine monastery. The setting is unusually serene and forms part of a
large nature reserve. The 2000 m2 grounds of the facility accommodate an
array of buildings set in fields that roll down to the side of a small
inland fishing lake, the Belsö Tó. The facility boasts a huge medieval open
barn that acts as a studio and exhibition space during the summer. There are
also many other buildings that may be used as studios and exhibition spaces.
Students on the programme are encouraged to explore the site and make new
work in and around it.

Fees
International Students: 254000 HUF (980 Euro).
Students of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts:  40000 HUF (155 Euro).

Arts: 70000 HUF (270 Euro).

TIPP 
Tihany International Postgraduate Program
GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE, LONDON - HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS

TIPP - Tihany International Postgraduate Program is an international
collaborative research initiative between the Visual Arts Department at
Goldsmiths College, London and the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts. The
program includes symposiums, intensive courses, conferences,
artist-in-residencies, exhibitions and other events as well as the
production of publications. Our aim is to create an international forum for
artists to explore the creative diversity of contemporary fine art practice
and the nature of the critical discourse, which surrounds it.  As Hungary
has been a crossroads between the East and West for hundreds of years, its
accession this spring to the European Union places it again at the heart of
the reunited Europe. Recognising these changes we feel that part of TIPP's
role is in providing a forum where people from different nationalities and
ethnicity's may participate in a number of challenging Fine Art based
programs. The programs are situated at the newly renovated premises of the
Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in Tihany, where participants have the
opportunity to experience art, theory and debate away from its usual urban
environment. In locating TIPP this way, a uniquely open atmosphere is
created. From experience we have found that the opportunity for more relaxed
social interaction between participants directly contributes to freer
expression and sharing of ideas and a more open forum for debate.
