Deputy
Head: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Isabel KranzThe
Institute of Studies in Art and Art Education
is committed to exploring the dynamic relationships between artistic practice, theoretical inquiry, and didactic research
at the intersection of art, education, and society. Teaching and research at the institute integrate diverse perspectives—from
artistic and cultural studies to pedagogical and socio-political approaches.
This includes both the critical analysis
of aesthetic phenomena and expressive forms, and the development of original artistic, theoretical, and educational practices.
At the institute, art is understood as a social, cultural, and political practice—a means of generating knowledge and actively
shaping social processes.
