Theory weeke 3. Topic: ”Entusiastic aesthetics”
In the series of intensive lecturing weeks, his is the third. "The need for theory" was the main topic during the first week. The idea that every piece of art also contains an art theory is important. During theory week 2 we took a step further. The general headline was: ”applied art theory” – focusing on what is often referred to as ”depth models” in contemporary art.
In theory week 3 (week 02-2010) we will also talk about "applied art theory", but this time we will not squeeze the presentation into a frame. Every lecture arises out of the differnet theories`own research and experience. The lectures will deal with individual and universal criteria for quality, taste and judgmental power, aesthetics and special interests in the area of contemporary art.
