Hello everyone!

I'm Karoliina Paatos, a documentarian, photojournalist, photo artist and photo book guy. I'm coming to run a course on documentary work for you, which you will also make into a printed product. For the past ten years I have been shooting a number of interlinked long documentary projects in the US, from which I have worked on exhibitions, films and several photo and artist books. Documentary projects often take the form of books, and the making of a book supports the documentary process. If you would like to see some of my work in advance, you can find some of it on my website www.karoliinapaatos.com. It will be great to be able to follow and work together on your autumn projects. So see you in October!

Objective

The students will be able to:
• use contemporary methods and modes of expression in their own work
• consider their expression from the aesthetic and ethical perspective
• critically analyse and develop their own three-dimensional expression
• actively follow and analyse regional, national and international trends and phenomena in sculpture

Content

The students will focus on the content and modes of expression in contemporary sculpture. What can a three-dimensional object say about today’s society, and how? Which materials are environmentally sustainable? The studies introduce topical aspects of contemporary sculpture, such as spatial, multisensory and cross-disciplinary modes of expression as well as the relationship between a work and the audience.
The studies are completed according to the plan at workshops. During this course, the students will design and execute a three-dimensional work of art or collection of works. In addition, the students will create a visual presentation about a contemporary sculptor of their choice as instructed by the teacher and based on source materials. The course may also include visits to exhibitions and studios, artist lectures and excursions.

Student workload

The learning methods emphasise task-based learning, project-based learning and face-to-face teaching. At the beginning of the course, the student defines, together with the supervising teacher, a goal for his/her work, which is approached through personal work, group and individual meetings and self-reflection.

Content scheduling

Schedule to be confirmed! The joint meetings are usually held on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What are the methods of expression in sculpture? Answer: all the possible methods! The expanded field of sculpture (Krauss) has fused a huge range of different modes of expression, from video art to performance. For example, spatiality, corporeality and materiality, or their opposites, are concepts that are essential to contemporary art and shape the content of the work. The sculpture, like any other art object, is situated in the same physical reality as its creator and its audience. In addition to the physical and material dimension of the work, the 'direction of writing and reading' chosen by the artist also influences its making. What is the material possibility that the artist wants to emphasise in his work?

During the course, students will choose a concept of contemporary sculpture that interests them and produce a work or a set of works inspired by it. At the same time, they will explore in depth the theory of their chosen concept and present their findings to the group in a 'conceptual seminar'.

What are the ways of expression in sculpture? Answer: in every possible way! The expanding field of sculpture (Krauss) has incorporated into its body a huge range of different modes of expression, from video art to performance art. For example, spatiality, corporeality and materiality, or their opposites, are key concepts in contemporary sculpture that shape the content of the work. The place of the sculpture is in the same physical reality as its creator and its audience. In addition to the physical and material dimension, the "direction of reading" chosen by the artist also influences the making of the work. For example, the artist may wish to emphasise a feminist or even post-humanist perspective in relation to the interpretation of the work.
During the course, students will choose a concept of contemporary sculpture that interests them and produce a work or a body of work inspired by it. At the same time, they will explore the theory of their chosen concept in more depth and present their findings to the group in a "conceptual seminar".

Content scheduling

The Metal as Sculpture Material course explores the possibilities of metal working as part of sculpture practice. Cutting and joining metal pieces is a speciality of the sculpture-oriented artist. Metal structures enable the realisation of complex plastic and suspended structures and extend the student's ability to understand the requirements of sustainable structures, for example in public spaces. In addition to the possibilities of metal fabrication, the course will also focus on the potential of new technologies. Laser cutting of metal has long been used in industry, and computer-aided techniques are very much in evidence in public art, for example. A completely new technology in metal sculpture is, for example, the printing of aluminium on a 3D printer.

The group meets together every Tuesday from 10am. The rest of the course schedule will be announced soon.

Wood as a material for sculpture is, as its name suggests, a material-based course. Wood as a material surrounds us in the form of buildings, furniture, objects of necessity and sometimes also art objects. Ikea's chipboard cabinets are made of wood, as are the Baroque cabinets that have been declared of cultural and historical value. Trees grow in forests, sometimes even through the asphalt on the sunny side of the pavement, and branches and leaves fall to the ground. Trees have a life cycle and research shows that they are also capable of communicating with each other (see The secret life of trees). Students will critically reflect on the relationship of the material to their work plan and their chosen working methods. How the nature of the material is revealed in the student's work and how it relates to debates in the field of contemporary art. Students will produce their own independent work or process exploring the qualities of the material within the given constraints.

The course may also include visits to exhibitions and studios, artist lectures and excursions.

Teaching methods

The learning methods emphasise task-based learning, project-based learning and face-to-face teaching. At the beginning of the course, the student defines, together with the supervising teacher, a goal for his/her work, which is approached through personal work, group and individual meetings and self-reflection.

Content scheduling

What are the ways of expression in sculpture? Answer: in every possible way! The expanding field of sculpture (Krauss) has incorporated into its body a huge range of different modes of expression, from video art to performance art. For example, spatiality, corporeality and materiality, or their opposites, are key concepts in contemporary sculpture that shape the content of the work. The place of the sculpture is in the same physical reality as its creator and its audience. In addition to the physical and material dimension, the "direction of reading" chosen by the artist also influences the making of the work. For example, the artist may wish to emphasise a feminist or even post-humanist perspective in relation to the interpretation of the work.
During the course, students will choose a concept of contemporary sculpture that interests them and produce a work or a body of work inspired by it. At the same time, they will explore the theory of their chosen concept in more depth and present their findings to the group in a "conceptual seminar".

THE GROUP MEETS EVERY TUESDAY FROM 10 TO 12.
