Course content
You will learn practical and theoretical knowledge about printmaking, the traditions of artists books and the current state of how publications, fliers, manifestos, books, Twitter, facebook, instagram, and other public spaces are used to spread information, desinformation and propaganda by artists, politicians and others. You will also learn about the immanent possibilities these mediums have in our society now, and about how to use these in your own interest.
In practice we are investigating how traditional methods such as silk screen printing, lithography, etching and engraving are relevant to our post-internet realities, and can be used as a tools for looking at our society today.
