Here, however, we put forward the notions of "self" and "system." First, every artistic practice is self-reflexive and self-contextualizing. Second, each system an artist builds allows for innovation. Let's construct a space where we inevitably find ourselves together with others, even if we feel lonely, like a witch lost in a library of artists' books. Let's invent our right to do so. Let's enter the world of smell and write about a megalomaniac art school while documenting a generation of art students and their studios with analogue photography. How does anyone even manage-from making objects to performing one's own existence? Device, organon, animal.Summary: The artist as entrepreneur has become a common topic of discussion.

This book arises from the 2018 activities of the MA Fine Arts program at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). It reflects the conviction that an arts school can be a pedagogic nexus dedicated to the transmission of knowledge, experimentation, and research, as much as a locus for civic and critical debate and exhibition, involved in its community, locally and globally.Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
