Call for applications for PhD in Practice Program
Application period: February 1 – March 1, 2010

The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is launching a doctoral program for
research in artistic practice. The new PhD in Practice program is
intended to give participants an opportunity to realize their
individual research projects in a cooperative environment with a
decidedly transdisciplinary and international bent.

In societies
increasingly based on economies of "knowledge," it is crucial for
contemporary visual artists to discuss and transform their own
respective positions as producers, agents, designers, archivists, and
conveyors of "knowledge." The PhD in Practice program of the Academy
of Fine Arts Vienna is coordinated by Tom Holert, Silvia Kolbowski,
and Johanna Schaffer. It focuses on the consequences of the shifting
social status of art and artists by allowing artists in
knowledge-based societies to engage in research into these issues. A
deliberate emphasis on the epistemological and methodological
foundations of the fine arts, its practitioners, and its audiences is
a distinguishing feature of the PhD in Practice program.

The study program is designed for a duration of four years (240 ECTS
credits). During this time the participants will develop and implement
their projects analytically and experimentally in coordination with
the academic and artistic team of co-participants and faculty.
Transdisciplinary modes of working in artistic production will be
fostered. Importantly, the ability to write texts, and to conceive,
organize, document, and carry out independent research will be
developed by supporting program participants in a networked,
international and transdisciplinary environment (The Center for
Art/Knowledge/CAK).

The participants have access to the facilities and resources of the
Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and to the institutions and people that
form the broader and expanding network of the Center for Art/Knowledge
and the future Doctorate School of the Academy. Participants will be
given the means to pursue and develop dissertation work resulting in
an artistic project displaying a strong emphasis on methodological
reflexivity and documentation. Moreover, participants are expected to
take an active part in organizing the program (coordinating workshops,
guest lectures, conferences, exhibitions, screenings, etc.).

Entry requirements

Requirements for admission to the PhD in Practice program are: a
degree (Magister, MA or diploma) from a recognized university, and the
submission of a portfolio and a written project proposal. Applicants
who are already engaged in an artistic or academic career are
encouraged to apply.

Applications (to be written in German or English) are to be submitted
by March 1, 2010 (via post or email).
