<br />This course will address the challenges of collecting time-based media, from copyrights and ownership to conservation. It will also examine the relation between media and other contemporary art forms (sculpture, paintings, photography, performance) in a collection. Barbara London will bring in her substantial knowledge as the founder and chief curator of the time-based media department at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.<br /><br /><p>Friday, 16 March 2018, 6.00 – 9.00pm</p>
<p><strong>Part One: <em>Video and Media Art Overview</em></strong></p>
<p>This two-day course begins with an overview of video and media art. London discusses the madcap trajectory of video as a pliable medium, and how it moved from the fringe to a full-fledged art form. Attention will be paid to how production, exhibition, and distribution are interdependent and to the way collecting video and media art was slowly taken up by museums, foundations, banks, and private collectors. </p>
<p>Saturday, 17 March 2018, 11.00am – 5.00pm.</p>
<p><strong>Part Two: <em>The Ideologies behind Exhibiting and Collecting Video and Media Art </em></strong></p>
<p>The course will explore the challenges involved in distributing, exhibiting, and collecting time-based media, both single-channel works as well as installations. Production and exhibition tools are diverse and changed considerably over the years. To exhibit or acquire media artwork, it is necessary to be aware of its specificities. This session, probing the fundamentals of video art, will speak about these technical details as well as how the artists themselves can give valuable insight. London will also speak about proper archival structures that consider the works’ format, software, and climate specifications.</p>

Open College is a new NTU CCA Singapore educational initiative for everyone who are passionate about learning and development. The Centre’s new education initiative welcomes all individuals who are enthusiastic about gaining knowledge and new insights.<br /><p><span>The focus of the Open College is on flexible learning and transdisciplinarity, with a view to build mind share, bridge capability gaps and promote a culture of lifelong learning. </span></p>
<p><span>From July 2021, the Centre will progressively roll out progammes covering creative writing, cultural project development and environmental entrepreneurship and more.</span></p>
<p><span>The Open College offers two types of programmes: Discovery and Immersive Series. The Immersion Series are 5-day in-depth and structured programmes led by professional educators, researchers and critical thinkers in their fields of expertise. Through a blend of in-class and offsite training, participants will deep dive into a subject matter and gain new perspectives through a blend of practical projects and discussions to stimulate critical thinking and dialogue. </span></p>
<p><span>Discovery programmes are by contrast, shorter, exploratory courses that allow participants to potentially explore topics outside their usual fields or interest, and acquire basic knowledge and skillsets that may be transferrable to other areas of study and work. </span></p>

Open College: Making It Happen! Developing Projects for the Cultural Sector
<a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Education">Education</a>
Developing projects in the cultural sector comes with distinctive considerations unique to challenges in the field. Some examples of cultural sector projects include exhibitions, performances, festivals and other public presentations. In this 3-day programme designed for cultural practitioners and arts administrators, participants will develop the competencies and skills for planning and controlling art projects from ideation to completion. The course will examine the project management life cycle and address issues that drive or derail successful project outcomes. Participants will learn to define project parameters, identify and enrol stakeholders and use effective project management tools to plan, organise and track progress. Cultural sector projects often involve multiple, complex sources of funding. The processes involved in receiving the funds may not follow a regular schedule and subsidies sometimes are received after an event is over. These issues can create uncertainty in the financial management of cultural sector projects. Project managers need to be agile in the both areas of budgeting and financial management in order to enhance project outcomes. This programme will also cover grant writing, an important aspect of project development and management. With the understanding that every grant application is evaluated at various stages, participants will learn how to tackle the different aspects of a grant application. Through hands-on writing practice, participants will navigate grant procedures, regulations and evaluation criteria and most importantly, favourably position their projects and increase their chances of receiving funding.<br /><br />Course Instructor: Dr Karin Oen, Principal Research Fellow, Centre for Asian Art and Design, School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University

<p><strong>Course Details</strong></p>
<p>Date: Monday, 6 December 2021 <br />Time: 7 – 10 pm<br />Delivery Mode: Online<br />Standard Course Fees: SGD 90.95 (inc. GST)<strong><br /><br /></strong><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color">Concepts of Concern – A Lexicology of Ecology </span></strong>is a survey of terminology in social, cultural and political ecology. Old and new terms such as recycle, sustainable, green, renewable, biomass, climate change, carbon footprint, global warming or anthropocene constitute what can be called concepts of concern. They are used to propose solutions to waste, advance environmental justice and imagine new worlds, but also to justify new forms of resource extraction, industrial production and economic globalisation as necessarily eco-centric.</p>
<p>The 3-hour online course traces the evolution of specific eco-centric terms and their corollary discourses since the global environmental movements of the 1960s, and examines a lexicology of ecology as a springboard to engage the emerging and heterogeneous field of ecocriticism. This course will also discuss several artistic responses that operate outside the bounds of terminological discourses and its trappings. </p>
<p>This course is divided into three main sections:</p>
<p><strong>Part 1:</strong> Overview of dominant terminology in social/cultural/political ecology since the 1960s.</p>
<p><strong>Part 2:</strong> Critical examination of selected terms, such as their use in corporate propaganda and political narratives.</p>
<p><strong>Part 3:</strong> Survey of non-terminological/artistic responses to the crisis of ecology. </p>

<p><strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color">Jegan Vincent de Paul</span></strong> is an artistic researcher with an interest in large-scale technopolitical phenomenon with a focus on physical infrastructures. He received his Ph.D in Art, Design and Media from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2021. His doctoral thesis Infrastructure, Narrative, Impact: A Counter-Reading of Belt and Road uses art as a research methodology to show how “the Belt and Road” is a rhizomatic global narrative constructed in the process of interpretation and analysis. He has worked internationally as a researcher and designer and was a visiting scholar and lecturer at the MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology (2010–12).

<p><strong><em>Edible Wild</em></strong> is a 2-hour workshop aimed at bringing parents and their children closer to nature. Despite the greenery that surrounds us in our concrete jungle, it is easy to overlook the plants that flank our sidewalks. As the world moves at an ever-increasing pace, we need the occasional reminder to slow down and reconnect with the earth – and one of the best ways to do so is to learn how to care for it.</p>
<p>This workshop is a gentle introduction to the myriad of herbs – both common and uncommon – that can be found growing around our garden city, as well as a chance to understand their history and uses. Participants will learn simple plant identification techniques, understand the structure of a plant, as well as pick up basic gardening skills that they can use at home. The overall goal is to renew a sense of wonder in our green companions, while providing the skills to identify and care for them.</p>
<h4 class="has-text-color" id="what-you-will-learn">At The End of the Course, You Will…</h4>
<p>● Learn how to identify edible local plants from The Farm at NTU CCA Singapore<br />● Learn general plant identification techniques (leaf shape, flowers, stem structure etc.)<br />● Pick up basic gardening techniques to grow and care for your own edible greens (proper watering, checking/enriching the soil, checking for pests, pruning & propagation)<br />● Create simple infusions with ingredients from the garden</p>
<h4 class="has-text-color">Target Audience</h4>
<p>Parent/child groups where the children are 7 years old and above.</p>
