royal institute of art stockholm
Sedan ett antal år tillbaka erbjuder Kungl. Konsthögskolan möjlighet att bedriva
såväl individuella forskningsprojekt som samarbetsprojekt.We offer an
unparalleled combination of artistic breadth and excellence, with programs in
the Fine Arts at both the basic and advanced levels . Our freestanding courses
at the advanced level are aimed at both professional artists and architects, as
well as those who work within culture and the humanities. In addition, we are
also a research institution. As a cultural institution, we also offer a public
program with exhibitions, seminars and workshops that are open to everyone.
Development with a Historical Connection The Royal Institute of Art is a place
that enables art and learning. We experiment and take artistic risks in pursuit
of growth. Professional artists teach fine art here—from print-making, painting
and sculpture to video, sound, photography, interactive techniques, performance
and critical studies. Our campus is located on Skeppsholmen in central
Stockholm. The combination buildings with a clear historical connection and
modern workshops creates a dynamic environment for students, researchers and
staff. Here, artistic heritage is preserved while new techniques and methods in
the field are constantly being developed. The art made here relates to the past
as well as to the search for new ways of redefinition. The Royal Institute of
Art is characterized in a similar way, both by its tradition and ongoing
renewal. The Art of Continuous Development The students’ artistic work is at the
center of all learning. Through a collaborative process of thoughtful
reflection, various forms of artistic expressions are heightened and enhanced by
coming into contact with each other. A vast range of different aesthetics,
attitudes and approaches are accommodated amongst our 230 students. Our
education and research utilize and form a joint field of knowledge in constant
evolution. The desire for experimentation and critical discussion pushes
independent artistic development forward. By creating new forms of developing
and testing different modes of artistic expression against one another, our
employees, researchers and students create the conditions for lifelong learning.
