The two-day excursion was dedicated to applied forms of painting at the interface between architecture and public space. The focus was on commissioned works as a central source of income for artistic practice and their distinction from autonomous painting. Using concrete examples, the specific framework conditions of these works was discussed: spatial and functional specifications, legal and institutional requirements, and the expectations of clients, funding agencies and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We talked to artists as well as people who organise, curate or finance art-in-architecture and similar projects. We followed the processes from open calls and the competition to the design and decision-making processes to the preparation and painting implementation on site. Students were given a practical insight into the professional production conditions of applied painting and an expanded, inspirational view on the medium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
