Characteristic of the projects and research in which the PhD student is to be subsumed

Cooperation with a PhD student will include a study of spatial relations, and therefore will concern:

creating and researching object-place relationships; spatial relationships between objects and other phenomena - also non-material (sound, light); observing the relationship between created situations and the perception and reflection of the recipient / viewer / participant.

As for the thematic scope, these activities are to concern issues of doctoral student's interest, and will be implemented through the use of sculpting, drawing - intermedia techniques - including the border (common territories) of visual arts and other fields of art (e.g. theater) or science.

Characteristic of didactic cooperation between the supervisor and the PhD student

The expected competence of a doctoral student is therefore openness to experiment and cooperation with other artists / scientists / institutions, including those operating in the field of non-artistic disciplines. Openness to expanding the scope of research towards interdisciplinary assumptions.

The scope of work will include developing researcher’s own workshop and visual / conceptual language based on the technical capabilities offered by the studios of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław with the substantive support of the supervisor and specialists indicated by the doctoral student.

A PhD student should have skills in the field of sculpting and drawing due to the type of classes conducted with students as part of compulsory teaching practice.
