Course description:
Is Artistic Entrepreneurship the new Punk rock? Artistic Entrepreneurship argues for an agency that involves and engages new combinations across disciplines and sectors and new forms of cooperation among researchers and artists, ideas and technologies. We aspire to a different kind of entrepreneurship in the truest sense of the word: More than just a business model, it is an undertaking of acting together to inspire people to tackle the challenges society faces.
How does Artistic Entrepreneurship extend the studio practice? The course combines artistic practice and critical artistic research through project based thinking and reframing exercises. We are creating a playful glossary, rewriting the rules of Monopoly, reimagining innovation by analysing rural frameworks, stimulating collaborative ideas and looking at dissemination and publishing formats.
As a KUNO express mobility course, “Exploring Artistic Entrepreneurship” is embedded in an elective course at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art. Participants are encouraged to attend at least one introductory session online in preparation for the intensive course days in Trondheim. In conjunction with the introductory elements, the course builds on the participants' artistic practice and aims to develop entrepreneurial ideas and themes collectively to foster strategic artistic agency against monoculture.
Learning Outcomes
Students can use relevant methods for research and artistic entrepreneurial development. The students can reflect on and articulate the significance and potential of art and artists in relation to society. Students will have the skills and training required to work collaboratively.
