Application period | 01.02.2010 - 01.03.2010

The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is launching a doctoral program for
research in artistic practice. The new PhD in Practice program is intended
to give participants an opportunity to realize their individual research
projects in a cooperative environment with a decidedly transdisciplinary
and international bent.

In societies increasingly based on economies of "knowledge," it is crucial
for contemporary visual artists to discuss and transform their own
respective positions as producers, agents, designers, archivists, and
conveyors of "knowledge." The PhD in Practice program of the Academy of
Fine Arts Vienna is coordinated by Tom Holert, Silvia Kolbowski, and
Johanna Schaffer. It focuses on the consequences of the shifting social
status of art and artists by allowing artists in knowledge-based societies
to engage in research into these issues. A deliberate emphasis on the
epistemological and methodological foundations of the fine arts, its
practitioners, and its audiences is a distinguishing feature of the PhD in
Practice program.
The study program is designed for a duration of four years (240 ECTS
credits). During this time the participants will develop and implement
their projects analytically and experimentally in coordination with the
academic and artistic team of co-participants and faculty.
Transdisciplinary modes of working in artistic production will be
fostered. Importantly, the ability to write texts, and to conceive,
organize, document, and carry out independent research will be developed
by supporting program participants in a networked, international and
transdisciplinary environment (The Center for Art/Knowledge/CAK).
The participants have access to the facilities and resources of the
Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and to the institutions and people that form
the broader and expanding network of the Center for Art/Knowledge and the
future Doctorate School of the Academy. Participants will be given the
means to pursue and develop dissertation work resulting in an artistic
project displaying a strong emphasis on methodological reflexivity and
documentation. Moreover, participants are expected to take an active part
in organizing the program (coordinating workshops, guest lectures,
conferences, exhibitions, screenings, etc.).
Entry requirements
Requirements for admission to the PhD in Practice programare: a degree
(Magister, MA or diploma) from a recognized University, and the submission
of a portfolio and a written project proposal. Applicants who are already
engaged in an artistic or academic career are encouraged to apply.
The start of the PhD in Practice program is scheduled for October 2010.
