Practitioners Programme
The PARSE Practitioners Programme supports the relationship between art and research by providing artists from a variety of disciplines with the space and time to work on a nascent project.
Based in the Artistic Faculty at Gothenburg University, the Programme invites individuals or collectives to undertake new work in the context of artistic research. The Practitioners Programme is intended as time to pursue research and/or realise a specific project, while drawing on the PARSE network and the Faculty’s research and expertise.
During the course of the Programme, participants create a project that engages with the Faculty’s research community and are expected to make at least one public presentation. Communication formats may range from an exhibition or performance to screening or installation, documented and made available to the public on the PARSE website.
Previous participants in the PARSE Practitioners Programme include Cem A. (2023) and Andrea Petitt (2024)
