Performance Art and Fashion: Between Embodied Gesture and Radical Adornment
with Marta Jovanovic

This course investigates the fertile intersection between performance art and fashion, exploring how clothing, style, and bodily presence become mediums of expression, resistance, and transformation. From the runway as stage to garments as sculpture, we trace how artists and designers alike use performance and dress to construct identities, critique norms, and make bold aesthetic or political statements. The course combines theoretical reflection with hands-on experimentation, culminating in a final performative presentation or visual project.

DATES: September 2-23, 2025; Tuesdays 6-8PM CET

Fee: EUR 175

Being in Place
with Marilyn Arsem

This course is focused on creating public actions. Participants are asked to consider their immediate neighborhoods as a place to re-embody their art making in ways that are responsive to and integrated with the natural world and the community around them. Through practical exercises and readings, they will be prompted to think about different modes of being in public, considering the complications of making art in and from a place that is familiar.

DATES: November 18-December 16, 2025; Tuesdays 6-8PM CET

Fee: EUR 175
