Community of Practice - The Art of Feedback

Members of the CoP are supervisors, PhD candidates, and others involved in artistic/practice-based doctoral programs. Within the CoP, members exchange experiences and insights in discussion sessions and other engaging activities. 

CoP Activities 

• Tuesday, December 3, 2019, 11:00-12:00 CET – Session #1 Artistic guidance in a doctoral context: Challenges and Opportunities 
• Tuesday, February 4, 2020 – Discussion report session #1 Artistic guidance in a doctoral context: Challenges and Opportunities
• Tuesday, March 24 – Launch temporary discussion/learning platform for CoP – members.
• Tuesday, June 3, 19:30-20:45 CET – Session #2 Artistic versus Academic processes in a doctoral context.

• Challenges: lack in candidate preparation, articulating the artistic practice, providing tailored information as a supervisor for every unique research project. 
• Opportunities: providing pre-admission support, better integration of PhD candidates in the institution, training for artistic supervisors. 
• Engaging with the artistic practice and artistic outcomes: listening, asking questions that help reflect upon artistic processes, collaborate and participate.
• Critique: reach an agreement on how to conduct critique in an artistic doctoral context, critique to be developed in seminars – in an environment other than individual supervision, meaningful critique tries to show the potential within an idea or production and how that succeeds or falls short.
