“Of course it hurts when buds burst. Otherwise why would spring hesitate? Why would all our fervent longing be bound in the frozen bitter haze? The bud was the casing all winter. What is this new thing, which consumes and bursts? Of course it hurts when buds burst, pain for that which grows and for that which envelops.” Welcome 17–27 May to 175 degree students showing that yes, it holds up!
Various practitioners offer a rich and diverse programme with lectures, seminars and workshops on/with practical knowledge, artistic research, performance lectures, site visits, and films. Trans-institutional nodes engage in questions around essayistic practice, interweaving narratives, forms of thought, matter and becoming, love, collectivity and solidarity.
With its 195 students from 28 nations, Konstfack's Degree Exhibition 2017 is the largest in the school's 173-year history. Consequently, this year there are more aspects of society's major challenges than ever, expressed in a lively and critical dialogue.
Solidarity, value and meaning is created jointly by 177 newly graduated visual arts teachers, master's and bachelor's students from 15 different programmes.
