The course will include at least two field trips to relevant exhibitions (Vienna, Ostrava, Prague...). Significant space will be devoted to discussions on related topics such as working with space, working with light, handling pre-existing artefacts in an installation, site-specific installations, the use of technology in an installation, etc.
