Art & Senses

[""Creativity is not the monopoly of artists." This notable claim by Joseph Beuys back in 1979 denotes not only the liberation but also the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary visual arts. Over the past decades, all sorts of collaborations among different artistic disciplines, areas of knowledge and the various stakeholders in society have opened up creative practice to variety and diversity beyond its traditional boundaries. The term "art" no longer designates to the ability of crafting or to material artefacts per se, but it offers a complex method of approaching different topics and meanings. Accordingly, this course is not only for artists.We access and apprehend the world by means of our senses, especially sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Our perception is a complex interplay of more than one sense, of inherent memories and of the process of how we are getting knowledge. Sensory experience can help to unwrap and facilitate a powerful narrative in a variety of projects that can be brought to and used in many different disciplines. It aims to challenge creativity and fresh input. This sensory approach becomes a tool to unlock (new) research and creative, interdisciplinary endeavours.Everyone can be creative!We look forward to welcoming you!"]
