POST - BCD
Programme Orienté Social Transmission Besançon Chalon-sur-Saône Dijon
The Burgundy Franche-Comté platform’s Post Diploma is a year of reflection, experimentation and work that should lead to a unique production that will have questioned its status and distribution. This production will be apprehended for its ability to bring the artist’s research and work closer to new audiences. The Post Diploma will lead to a school diploma and a public presentation to art professionals.
This program is designed for young artists who wish to question current models of art production and dissemination. Indeed, during their training, students mainly create a series of pieces and a thesis in parallel. The focus on the question of the exhibition, which does not easily meet with reality when leaving school, can prevent the development of other forms of creation more adapted to alternative dissemination and therefore no longer linked to today’s society.
In this study programme we will rethink models of presentation of works often inherited from the 19th century. The work of the artist must not be hindered by institutional conservatism, nor by the misdeeds of the commodification of artistic creation. This Post Master year thus aims to accompany each participant in thinking on the production of art, its role in society and its dissemination outside the usual exhibition space. It is based on a social dimension oriented on reflection, transmission and sharing.
While no theme will be imposed, the questions of borders - real and fantasized - of social commitment, ethics, politics, nomadism, cultures, languages and transmission will be addressed against nationalist and sectarian visions. Articulated around the invitation made to artists, theorists and art professionals, the POST BCD programme will thus provide the methodology and reflection necessary for the pursuit of research work and its dissemination/transmission outside the classical art channels.
How it will be carried out :
The program consists of 5 weeks of work and immersive reflections in several places and countries with each time one or more local guests. It also offers a professional experience in France or abroad in the form of an internship in an artistic structure related to the project, a mission or the continuation of a module in a partner school abroad. And finally, workshop time that allows the resources of the three schools, both technical and human, to be used.
5 sessions of 5 days each with meetings with artists or thinkers (October, November, December, May and June).
