John Newling artist talk: summer residency 2017

Transart Institute is pleased to announce that John Newling, a pioneer of public art with a social purpose, will be giving an artist’s talk open to the public during the Summer Residency on the evening of August 10 in Berlin. 

Newling’s work has evolved from Conceptual Art, Land Art and Arte Povera—all movements that placed emphasis on the concept, process and site of the work, alongside material and aesthetic properties. His works explore the natural world and the social and economic systems of society—such as money or religion. To this end Newling has innovated the possibilities and benefits for art in a renewed social and conceptual framework. There is news of John’s wonderful current projects—including a new type font Nyman’s; A Language from the Garden here.

Transart’s low-residency MFA  in Creative Practice aims to create a space for students of all disciplines to interact with a wide range of artists, scientists, theorists, media practitioners and visionaries. Whatever genres students choose to work in, the program is designed to: enrich students’ praxis; foster change; facilitate a connection between group and personal work; provide the means for contextualizing work in the wider world; and develop interaction strategies with audiences.

The only low-residency PhD for artists is offered for creative work only: your practice is your research. We foster and support research in: international diaspora, post-nationalism and post-colonialism; identity; exile; the role of art in peace and mediation; home; space(s) in between; temporary architecture; foreignness, otherness and the uncanny.

Advanced Artist Summer Academy where guest artists and curators attend the summer academy to get a creative surge, revitalize their practice and community, gain fresh perspectives on their work, experiment in a protected, supportive environment and/or to strike out in new directions.
