This special programme, therefore, involved international art institutions, curators and postgraduate students from as far afield as Tunis, South Africa, Turkey, Vienna, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Finland, among others.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">This first half of the project aimed to have the travel and the programme first in South Africa, then starting from October 2022 (with the beginning of the Winter semester), a special programme for Austria will also be realized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">For the workshop in South Africa the 16 participants spent three days at the Centre for the Less Good Idea. The Centre is currently developing and workshopping ideas as part of season 9 of its annual programme of plays and artistic outputs. Workshop participants were given complete access to the particular forms of conceptualisation and practice through which the Centre ultimately conceives each new season\u2019s works. In brief, the Centre is guided by an open ended, collaborative and even playful approach towards art-making. This approach tacitly draws upon the life experiences and existing expertise of each season\u2019s participants, be they visual artists, actors, musicians, poets or even theorists. Central to the Centre\u2019s artistic process is a radical openness to investigating \u2018less good ideas \u2019- ideas that despite seeming less clear, well-conceived or even obscure at first, ultimately offer more fruitful pathways for creative exploration and collaboration than the imposition of a singular, fully formed artistic vision at the start. This ensures that the resultant artistic outcomes are indeed collaborations, often with unexpected even surprising results. In this way participants in our workshop became active participants in the conceptualization stages of this year\u2019s season at the Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Our workshop participants then departed for the Nirox Foundation, a lush sculpture park and art foundation located in the Cradle of Humankind just outside Krugersdorp. Here they were led on guided tours of the facilities of the Nirox Foundation, informing them of its mission, function and curatorial methodologies whilst also engaging in a number of creative workshops led by project leaders Associate Prof Dr Basak Senova (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna) and Dr Johan Thom (UP). These workshops were guided by the theme of translation &#8211; thus linking back to the central theme explored at the Centre for the Less Good Idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Workshop participants explored the theme of translation in relation to their own artistic practice through a number of creative and written exercises. These conceptualization exercises were all aimed at exploring the creative methodologies that underpin a multitude of artistic forms of expression, from painting, drawing and writing to other socially engaged art forms. The exercises will now also form the basis of a number of forthcoming publications and exhibitions, including a group exhibition to be held beginning of June at the Academy of Fine Art, Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/a-research-of-doing.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-09.35.39-636x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a-research-of-doing.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-09.35.39-636x1024.png 636w, https:\/\/a-research-of-doing.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-09.35.39-186x300.png 186w, https:\/\/a-research-of-doing.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-09.35.39-768x1236.png 768w, https:\/\/a-research-of-doing.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-09.35.39-954x1536.png 954w, https:\/\/a-research-of-doing.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-09.35.39-1272x2048.png 1272w, https:\/\/a-research-of-doing.uni-ak.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-2022-09-28-at-09.35.39.png 1340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">We also visited the Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretoria. Here workshop participants had the opportunity to closely engage with head curator Gabi Ncobo and to explore the current exhibitions on display in detail. After a brief tour of the Visual Arts division and UP\u2019s main campus workshop participants were treated to a much-deserved lunch courtesy of the School of the Arts, UP. In the afternoon, participants were taken to the Pretoria Art Museum. Here senior curator Dirk Oegema led them on a tour of an exhibition of artworks that are all included in the current education syllabi of South African high schools and discussed the complexities of curating within a South African context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The workshop concluded on Friday the 15th with a final dinner and farewells at Farmlife 58 &#8211; the beautiful space we also called home for the last few days of the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">All the institutions involved in this trip were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dieangewandte.at\" target=\"_blank\">University of Applied Arts Vienna <\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.up.ac.za\/school-of-the-arts\" target=\"_blank\">The School of the Arts at the University of Pretoria <\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/lessgoodidea.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Centre for the Less Good Idea <\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niroxarts.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Nirox Foundation<\/a> <br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.farmhouse58.co\" target=\"_blank\">Farmhouse 58 <\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/javettup.art\" target=\"_blank\">The Javett Art Centre at the University of Pretori<\/a>a <br><a href=\"https:\/\/africa-uninet.at\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Austrian African Research Network (Africa UniNet)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>01.02.2022<\/strong><br><strong>WORKSHOP &amp; EXCHANGE ACTIVITY<\/strong><br>Conducted by Dr. Assoc.
