Course description:
Time is one of the, if not the key concept of a history of art that starts with modernism in the early 20th century and the new technologies that allowed artists to work with time as source material. This constituted entirely new practices which might not have been considered “art” before. While revisiting the emergence of time based arts in its various facets this course will investigate the relevance of the concept of time for artistic practices today.
With the notion of Local Time, we emphasise the importance of place, any place wherever, in relation to time and how the understanding of time can change fundamentally depending from where we start investigating concepts of time. Each participant is encouraged to bring material (an object, text, photograph, a song, a drawing, a video, a gesture) that speaks to or from the place, the locality she/he is coming from.
The KUNO express course Local Time is embedded in the course Concepts of Art Theory : Time, offered at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art. The KUNO express course has a focus on practical exercises, we will work with moving image and sound, we will record time, show time, talk time, read time, take time, make time, edit time, question time. The students will develop short experiments in groups. Research through and with archival material, engaging with both local Trondheim-based archives and those related to the students‘ individual research areas is encouraged.
[[Learning Outcomes
