<div><b>Live Art Forms</b> is a newly created postgraduate master's
program teaching performative and aesthetic practices across various
disciplines and media-within and beyond visual and performing
arts.<br>
</div>
<div>The program is designed to enable participants to initiate,
organize, and present an individual or collaborative artistic practice
foregrounding the multidimensional space that digital and
technological platforms constitute, moving bodies immersed in
networks, and fragmented yet interwoven planetary publics. The
teaching language of the program is English.<br>
</div>
<div>The courses are structured along three axes-Techne, Soma, and
Geos. These yield the artistic and discursive space in which
performative practices position themselves, are immersed, and from
which they launch and are made public.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Techne</b> focuses on the use of contemporary technologies and
media that support and host performative practices. It situates the
artists' live work in mixed and virtual realities, on a multiplicity
of devices, as well as digital platforms. Courses contextualize
students' work by means of theoretical and artistic texts, writing
practices, scoring and coding in human and machine languages.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Soma</b> places the body as a system at the center of artistic
work and teaches expanded dramaturgies, movement- and body-based
practices, choreography, embodied concepts and incorporated communal,
infrastructural and planetary metabolisms.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Geos</b> supports the individual mapping of the threads of
students' practices-understood as navigating a path from one
position to the next, from one instance of making-public to the other.
These pathways are taught as a sequence of positions across
disciplines, media and genres by negotiating the complex and
multiplying vector space of contemporary aesthetic practice.<br>
</div>
<div>The program features a uniquely structured course load with
phases of intense, concentrated learning to accommodate students'
work both within and beyond the studios and stages of the academy. The
course structure consists of a total of four one-month-long teaching
phases in the fall, winter, spring and summer over the academic year.
These phases require students' presence on campus at the Academy of
Fine Arts in Nuremberg. They alternate with longer phases of more
independent off-campus study, in which teaching is organized via
digital platforms, facilitating regular exchange between mentors and
students on their projects' development. The campus-centered yet
essentially low-residency character of the program allows participants
to maintain their already established networks and pursue their
individual projects independently in a global context.<br>
</div>
<div>A group of visiting professors and mentors from within and
outside the academy ensure a multiplicity of worldviews, contexts,
identities, and practices across disciplines and media to relate to
students' artistic work. As students themselves are involved in the
process of proposing and choosing new mentors and visiting professors,
their specific practice-oriented interests are addressed uniquely.<br>
</div>
<div>The master's program is aimed at students with at least a first
university degree. This includes graduates in all disciplines from art
academies, as well as graduates from any other discipline or school
who hold a BA or comparable degree with minimum three years of study,
and documentation of at least one year of professional experience.<br>
</div>
<div>The program starts October 2021.<br>
</div>
<div>The Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg (AdBK Nuremberg) provides
excellent study and research opportunities to around 300 students and
brings together a diverse range of creative practices under one roof.
In addition to students' individual artistic development, we promote
transdisciplinarity, diversity and cultural open-mindedness. We have
been nurturing the artistic and creative ambitions of our students and
staff for over 350 years. The Academy is situated in a transparent and
light-filled pavilion architecture that harmoniously blends into its
surroundings-successfully combining studios, workshops and
facilities.</div>
