CONDITIONS: a breakfast seminar

  • Ben Fitton: Senior Lecturer, Year 2 Leader BA Fine Art, Chelsea

Abstract

CONDITIONS is a weekly breakfast seminar open to all students within the Fine Art programme and beyond. The seminar aims to occupy a space between the practice and theory provision of the Fine Art course, paying close attention to under-theorised aspects of practice (titles, plinths, artist's statements, etc.) and testing theoretical models against real-world encounters. This presentation will give an insight into the seminar's overall remit, examples of its content, and an account of its approach to an open-ended discursive curriculum, where the topic for each week's session is decided collectively a week or so in advance.
