VALS: Erika Thomas — Research-creation: art and artistic elaboration as spaces for experimentation

PCU, Bishop's Court Studios Biskupsky dvůr 1147/6, Prague, Czech Republic

Join a Visiting Artist & Lecture Series, this time by Erika Thomas.
For several years she has been developing her academic and artistic research in the perspective of what is called “research-creation” or “art-based research” . From documentary film and video art to poetry and performance, creation is developed as a territory for thinking about the Self and the world.

For this Friday show I asked the students to go out and experience the city in new and unexpected ways. I asked them to actively take in their surroundings and to communicate their personal feelings and experiences in a photographic series documenting this experience.
