*The Programme:*
The Fine Art programme is based on an understanding of contemporary art as
embedded within a larger field of cultural, social and political practices.
It encourages critical discourse on artistic practice, and places an
emphasis on self-reflection and analysis. Furthermore, public interaction is
given a special focus, inciting students to connect with practitioners
outside of the academy and present their work to general audiences.

Our English-taught, two-year Master programme provides an international
platform on which artists can develop their practices through independent
studio work as well as a lively dialogue with artists, curators and
theorists from a diversity of disciplines: art, theatre, literature,
philosophy, cinema, and others. Our students, faculty members and guests
hail from: Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Lebanon, the Netherlands,
New Zealand, Rumania, Turkey, the United States, among many other countries,
providing participants in our programme with a truly international
experience.

We offer generous studio space and a variety of technical facilities,
including editing suites, photo labs, workshops for typography, wood,
plastics, ceramics, etc. Students receive strong individual tutorial support
with weekly studio visits by both regular staff and guests. Furthermore, we
offer a challenging programme of annually changing thematic projects,
seminars, excursions and lectures that provide a broad framework for the
exploration of issues relevant to contemporary culture and society. The
small size of the programme makes for intensive and dynamic discussions and
focussed interactions between the course director, faculty members, guests
and students.

*The Faculty:*
Our faculty members and guests are practitioners in contemporary art and
culture with a very active professional practice. This year, the faculty
members include Liesbeth Bik (member of artist duo Bik Van der Pol), Bernd
Krauss (artist), Ine Lamers (artist), Hadley+Maxwell (artists), Dieter
Roelstraete (curator at Muhka and associate editor of Afterall), Steve
Rushton (writer), Monika Szewczyk (head of publications at Witte de With)
and Jan Verwoert (art critic and contributing editor of Frieze).

Guests include Mai Abu ElDahab (curator), Diedrich Diederichsen (writer),
Felix Ensslin (theater director and curator), Guy Ben Ner (artist), Ian
Kiaer (artist), Lili Reynaud-Dewar (artist), Anthony Huberman (curator and
writer), Willem de Rooij (artist), Michael Stevenson (artist), and Alexis
Vaillant (curator), among many others. The team of faculty members and
guests varies every year. For further information, please see
http://pzwart.wdka.hro.nl/fama/staff/.

*The Public Lecture Series:*
Alongside our curriculum, we organise ongoing public lecture series, realise
exhibitions, and produce publications based on issues related to our
curriculum, but reaching beyond the framework of our seminar and
studio-based programme. These public moments are an important resource for
students, faculty members and guests, serving as a bridge to the city, and
building a community around areas of interests. Our programme thus combines
a variety of approaches that function as frameworks for the joint
exploration of issues relevant to art and culture.
