The aim of this project is to develop educational models within which theoretically based research and artistic development mutually contribute to new forms of knowledge. The masters program in Art Education at Konstfack will serve as a studio/workshop with the goal of creating a more mutually enriching relationship between academic research and artistic practice. The purpose is three-fold: 1) To develop forms of documentation that can be used to identify and reflect over the aesthetic learning strategies and forms of knowledge that arise in the practice of visual art; 2) To establish the legitimacy of these strategies and forms of knowledge as a basis for ongoing research in art education; and 3) To establish a sound foundation for pursuing doctoral work in art education and visual culture studies based in artistic practice. The project starts in two art projects each led by a faculty member in the department. The processes are documented throughout the project, using a variety of ...

This essay traces the resurrection of the fotoescultura, a three-dimensional photographic portrait popular in rural Mexico in the early 20th century, as interpreted in recent works by Performing Pictures, a contemporary Swedish artist duo.
The early fotoesculturas were an augmented form of portraiture, commissioned by family members who supplied photographs that artisans in Mexico City converted into framed sculptural portraits for display on family altars. We compare these »traditional« photographic objects with “new” digital forms of video animation on screen and in the public space that characterize Performing Pictures' work, and explore how the fotoescultura inspired new incarnations of their series Men that Fall.
At the intersection between the material aspects of a “traditional” vernacular art form and “new” media art, we identify a photographic aesthetic that shifts from seeing and perceiving to physical engagement, and discuss how the frame and its parergon augment the photographic gaze. The essay is accompanied by photos and video stills from Performing Pictures’ film poem "Dreaming the Memories of Now "(2018), depicting their work with the fotoesculturas.

For over a century and a half, photography has been the most popular and widespread means of making images. The first and primary tool of photography is the camera, and changes in the medium and its applications are often attributed to technical developments in making, reproducing, and distributing photographs. Equally if not more significant, however, have been changes in the ways people think about photography, including ideas about what and how photographs represent, and the roles they have played in social, political, and economic life. This article examines developments and conflicts in the idea of photography within a historical framework of changing cultural practice.

The work analizes the relationship between photography and comunitary memory and discusses the creation of narratives across pictures and how the image allows the habitants of a village to talk about their history and their feelings, about migration and gender struggles as well as violence and water issues inside a very complex cultural context full of beauty and myths.
