Multidisciplinary Workshops Art

Upon its creation in 1972, erg has acknowledged the opening up and the permeability of contemporary artistic practices. As today terms like globalization or transversality are still debated and crucial issues, a teaching limited to a single orientation cannot respond efficiently to the constant mutation of artistic practices in contemporary society. Multidisciplinarity contributes to this current debate. The AP is compulsory, and its pedagogy is based on research and experimentation in relation to the students’ personal projects.

The Art Department

Within the Art Department, the Multidisciplinary Workshop (Atelier pluridisciplinaire – AP) is at the junction of all practices, both individual and collective. As the nucleus of the art department, all the outcomes are articulated around it. Intended as a laboratory for contemporary experimentation and production, the AP allows each student to broaden their practical scope, placing their personal project in a contemporary perspective relevant to the current stakes of art.

Art is a place of experimentation, of the unprecedented, of the uncomfortable, of the "improbable" where artistic, visual and sound practices meet. Its objective is to discover the field of art, its topicality, its diversity, its methods, its modes of thought, its spaces of existence and its multiple mediums.

Multidisciplinary Workshop seeks both to establish a group dynamic (work by small groups of students brought together by affinity), and to encourage the student's creative approach, by conceiving the periodic exercises as titles that offer a variety of possibilities according to each student's preferred media, and that are suitable for developing their personal thoughts on what art is for them, while at the same time framing it in relation to the sensitive issues of contemporary art.

The Bac 3 Art program is built on the articulation of the Multidisciplinary Workshop course, the orientation courses and the philosophy course. The complementarity of these different theoretical and practical approaches is crystallized in a common form articulating the students' diverse research experiences, as well as the culmination of personal and/or collective projects. These different approaches form the basis of Bac 3's pedagogy, which is open to a broad, experimental conception of practices, multiplying, deepening and anchoring the possibilities for each individual.

Collective implementation of critical tools to apprehend each other's artistic proposals and situations, and those of actors both in and out of school.
