Collections & Artefacts

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Collections and Artefacts: Object-Based Research
Leerdoelen	Participants will develop skills to produce an artist interview transcript and an object biography related to an art work or object they have chosen object from the collection of the Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics. Empirical research methods as well as critical theory and discourse are our tools. Learning outcomes further include a nuanced understanding of art and material culture made from ceramics, while also developing crucial skills in critical reading, writing and visual analysis. Acknowledging the subversive potential of research, the opportunity to examine modern and contemporary art works and objects in a Dutch Rijksmuseum, helps prepare students for a life of applied critical thought.
Omschrijving	This year's course focuses on Contemporary Ceramics & Sustainability. Recent Anthropocenic and geological turns in global art histories have highlighted the need to cultivate sustainable futures based upon social justice and multispecies flourishing. How do art museums with their complex and often contested collecting histories create original exhibition experiences that respond to these challenges? How are museums researching their collections to expand upon the intersectional histories of sustainability, social and environmental justice? This object-focussed course incorporates visits to Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics, Fries Museum KSF (Kolleksjesintrum Fryslân) in Leeuwarden, and the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam. Participants will study the highly varied permanent collections, as well as key temporary exhibitions that engage with environmental, social and economic sustainability. The module embraces the entanglement objects of material culture and art works share, and their capacity to reflect and embody a range of social, environmental and historical networks and relationships.
