Practitioners Program

The Practitioners Program brings an individual artist or art collective to the context of artistic research through PARSE in the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts at Gothenburg University. The aim of the program is to invite an artist or artist collective to engage with faculty members and students through a residency in which they produce a body of work in relation to the current research frameworks at the faculty, and to follow their creative and research process through either seminars or workshops and a public event. The program gives the artist(s) the opportunity to pursue research and/or realize a specific project while drawing on PARSE’s resources and faculty’s research and expertise.

During the course of the program, the artist(s) will create a project that engages with the institution’s research community and will be expected to make one public presentation. The artist may work with an exhibition, performance, screening, or installation which will be documented and made available on the PARSE platform. Contact with other disciplines at the Faculty is encouraged.

The Practitioners Program will support the relationship between art and research by providing artists of any discipline with the space and time to work on a nascent project, offering access to the intellectual and archival resources of PARSE and the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts.
