What is the meaning of pictures? How do we look at them and how do they function? In Olga Chernysheva and Anna Jermolaewa's course you will be "in search for the image". This course takes place from 21 July to 2 August 2014 in special cooperation with Anders Kreuger's curatorial course. So you will also learn about the curatorial point of view in theoretical thinking about image production, and benefit from mutual inspiration. Apply here to participate.
If you happen to be in Hamburg, you can see a new work by Olga Chernysheva in the group exhibition "Photographing the future" at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, opening tonight at 7 p.m. Anna Jermolaewa's works are currently on view at the 21er Haus, Vienna and at the GrazMuseum, beside others.

Text and image have different functions in meaning production. But together - as in comics and graphic novels - they create meanings that neither can achieve by itself. Wanna find out about this "third meaning"? Then apply for Sarnath Banerjee's course Graphic novel, visual reportage and the third meaning, running from 4 to 16 August.
Currently living in New Delhi, graphic novelist, artist and film maker Sarnath Banerjee will give there a talk about Things in their true light this Friday. It takes place within the Speakers Corner talk programme of this year's India Art Fair.

Nancy Adajania explores in her course the productive challenges facing curatorial activity at the boundary between various kinds of ‘inside’ and ‘outside’. Participants will be encouraged to research and produce their own "Museum of excluded contents".

Nancy Adajania is a cultural theorist and Bombay-based independent curator. Together with Ranjit Hoskote she curated the show No Parsi is an Island, that is still on view at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Bombay until 28 January. Afterwards, on February 1, Adajania will open her exhibition Sacred / Scared at Latitude 28 in New Delhi. Apply now to participate in Nancy Adajania's course Curating the boundary condition: encounters with the outside.

The new COURSE PROGRAMME is now online with detailed descriptions of the courses. Application is already possible here. We would be delighted to welcome you back at next year's Summer Academy, and we wish you a successful and productive 2014.

Once more Charlotte Cullinan will return to Salzburg. In her course she will consider art as "un-foreseen, boundless, fluctuant and inestimable" with the result that anything around the studio could be referred to and serves as ultimate archive for the students' production.
Opening tonight, 13 December, together with Jeanine Richards and Andrea Sassi of dispari&dispari projects, Charlotte Cullinan will present current works and finest food from Italy in the studio/shop 4COSE in London.
