MAPS - Arts in Public Spheres Master Programme

The MAPS - Arts in Public Spheres Master programme of the ECAV - Ecole
cantonale d'art du Valais, Switzerland, is a 2-year degree in the visual
arts, addressing artists and professionals wishing to question the
contemporary artist's relation to the public sphere. The course offers
both practical and theoretical platforms for considering the public sphere
in a pluri-disciplinary perspective. It combines a focus on the students'
artistic practice and research projects, workshops offering practical
experience in realising projects and interventions in the public sphere,
yearly seminars contextualising the students' theoretical reflection and
participation in exhibitions, publishing projects and study trips. The
objective is to consider how art addresses different publics, the nature
of public participation and collaborative production, approaching a
critical analysis of space, and finally the role of the exhibition and
curating in the above questions.

Located in the Valais region of Switzerland, the striking natural
environment and its location, away from the country's major urban centres,
provide an ideal site for detailed on-the-ground studies in the following
areas: environmental and land art, socially-engaged and community
projects, site-specific artistic and curatorial interventions in the
public space, art and the natural sciences, artistic research practice,
and work on the dialectic between periphery and centre.

MAPS - Arts in Public Spheres is part of Master of Arts HES-SO in Fine
Arts, a programme that has been designed around three sites: the Haute
Ecole d'Art du Valais (ECAV) in Sierre, the Haute Ecole d'Art et de Design
in Geneva (HEAD) and the Ecole Cantonale d'Art in Lausanne (ECAL), and is
an integral part of the Swiss Master in Fine Arts Platform, a national
collaborative programme involving all the Swiss art schools.

Deadline for application is 8 April 2016.
