phd WORKSHOP
PROSPERITY IN FAILURE WITHIN THE PROCESS OF CREATION with Ang Bartram

SYLLABUS

The focus of this contextualized talk and workshop is on the artist's durational practice, how research underpins decision making and intent, and how failure and mishap are often by-products of the process when it is a central methodology.

Course goals:

1. Articulate failure as a methodological research opportunity

2. Recognise accident as a research-productive opportunity

3. Document and respond to failure as research

Detailed content:

Prior to session: Read article by Le Feuvre and think through how this does/does not relate to your research. 

First hour: discuss text in the group in terms of thoughts upon reading and value for your own research 

Second hour: research framing in terms of the stumble and failure as a research space - break out spaces, discussion. Students will need a pen and paper.
