*Be realistic, demand the impossible
**School of Missing Studies

*"There is an increasing crisis in public space; cultural education has
never been so close yet so far removed from cultural production. It has
fallen far behind more generative forces for the perception of culture,
such as politics and the economy. Education and learning need to reclaim
their territory as they provide a means to participate in politics and a
force for creating forms of political socialization."
–Bik Van der Pol, course director

*Urgency
*The collective public space of discourse requires certain conditions in
order to be able to critically explore the ethics and aesthetics of the
potential of art in relation to the public, the public good, and the public
space. Taking the notion of 'school' as a thinking model, understanding
education and learning as a space of experience and deploying education as
a strategy for emancipation, the School of Missing Studies is a research
model for the realization of missing studies, a platform for meetings and
experimental learning.

*Course
*Understanding education as a 'place of practice', our aim is to develop,
disclose, and articulate (artistic) work in dialogue with practices
developed in other fields of knowledge and to explore if and where art
produces a public sphere. The process of doing, and learning how to
continuously form society on a day-to-day basis, is a form of
(self)education where dialogue is a major mode of transfer. In order to
increase opportunities for diversification, the School of Missing Studies
explores the potential of the dialogical model, understood as much more
than an exchange, namely a constant negotiation of knowledge between
citizens.

*Students
*We welcome a maximum of 12 students from varied backgrounds including
arts, design, architecture, and social and urban sciences, with a clear
interest in the world around them, who are eager to critically address
urgent issues of collectivity and public space, and who have already
developed a solid basis through their practice. Students who successfully
complete the Master's degree programme will be awarded either a Master's
degree in Fine Art (MFA) or a Master of Design (MDes) degree, according to
which is more applicable.

For information about the admission requirements, application process and
selection criteria, please see

Last
application date: *June 20, 2012 *(start of programme september 2012).

*Bik Van der Pol
*The artistic practice of Bik Van der Pol is collective; leaving the studio
as a place of production and using the artistic workplace
itself—practice—as the location for research and production. This is a
conscious political and artistic choice, and also sets the conditions for a
practice and a (social) space, generated by dialogue and collaboration
where an encounter may happen that might result in a work of art.

<http://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=7854&N=2863&L=5681&F=H>*School of
Missing Studies
*The title of the programme is taken from the School of Missing Studies, a
project initiated by Bik Van der Pol in 2003, in collaboration with
artists, thinkers, and architects. The programme is seeking / experimenting
/ causing new modes of operandi for the production of knowledge and looking
to find ways of applying these as education in the form of artistic
practice. When understood as a means for forming and transferring
knowledge, this can open up new ways for understanding in society.

*Sandberg Instituut
*The Sandberg Instituut responsible for the Masters' programs of the Gerrit
Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam has the aim to prepare her talented artists
for the outside world at the highest level. To do so Sandberg Instituut
focuses on the individual talents and needs of her artists. In the Masters'
programmes the individual artistic research and artistic growth has
priority, although different angles are presented and artists are also
seduced to step outside their primarily chosen artistic path.
