Art Education

The research field of the Institute for Practices and Theories in the Arts (IPTK) is concerned with the development, penetration and qualitative advancement of art education in and out of schools. The focus is on developing the skills of learners and teachers by means of pedagogical-didactic, scientific and artistic studies on art education at various institutions and on curatorial practice.

In addition to analysing historical formats and their genealogies, strategies and perspectives for the research and development of contemporary art education are developed. 

MA Art Education students actively participate in ongoing research projects in the field of art education as part of minor projects and develop their own research miniatures.

Ongoing Projects

Selection

EcoArtLab. Relational Encounters between the Arts and Climate Research

The project analyses how transdisciplinary collaborations between artistic research, geography and critical sustainability research can develop new approaches to thinking about climate justice. What methodological approaches emerge and what knowledge is generated? Based on a systematic investigation of current climate art projects, institutional frameworks and target groups, the EcoArtLab aims to initiate and research its own collaborations.

Ästhetiken des Im/Mobilen: Wie Tanz- und Theaterperformances reisen

The search by cultural institutions for new forms in which theatre and dance productions can circulate is an urgent problem in practice. Not yet considered in the current debate are the dance and theatre practices of performers with disabilities, for whom travelling is associated with increased effort. The research project aims to develop sustainable forms of circulation and mobility for theatre and dance practice in dialogue with practitioners and to promote the participation of people with disabilities.
