A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT THERE ARE ONLY A FEW SWIMMING-STROKES
EXIST LIKE THE FRONTCRAWL, BACKCRAWL, BREASTSTROKE AND MAYBE THE BUTTERFLY STROKE (OR DOLPHIN STROKE) SOUNDS FAMILIAR TOO.
THESE SWIMMING-STROKES ARE USED IN SWIMMING COMPETITIONS AND THAT IS WHERE YOU PROBABLY KNOW THEM FROM. BUT PERHAPS YOU KNOW
THESE SWIMMING-STROKES ALSO FROM YOUR LOCAL SWIMMING-POOL WHERE YOU OR YOUR CHILD GET THEIR SWIMMING-LESSONS. NEVERTHELESS,
THERE ARE MUCH MORE SWIMMING-STROKES THAN ONE MIGHT THINK!! [1]

The Art Academy of Latvia announces POST, a new interdisciplinary
master’s degree programme in art, based on art in context. The programme seeks to explore and examine how it is possible to
study art today, while being simultaneously in Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, a region with different borders, characterised
by a changing environment and a rich experience regarding the forced use of global ideologies and their collapse. Taking into
account the cultural, historical and geopolitical contexts and the artistic processes attached to them, we are in an environment
of unique experiences. MA POST can be perceived as an open study space for various ideas and experiments, moving along in
the zigzagged relief of theory and practice. The structure of this degree programme consists of three interacting blocks:
Practice, Theory and Context.
Online registration
Students’
application for admission to the POST master’s degree programme for 2021/2023 will be open from 20 April 2021 to 15 June 2021.
More information about the admission rules and process as well as the programme is available here:

Lecturers
The
syllabus of the POST degree programme is provided by tutors whose backgrounds cover the fields of poetry, philosophy, graphic
design, painting, sculpture, music and other areas of art and theory – Kristaps Ancāns, Ieva Astahovska, Atis Jākobsons, Artis
Ostups, Jānis Ozoliņš, Gļebs Panteļejevs, Kārlis Vērdiņš, Armands Zelčs and Amanda Ziemele. Every two years, students from
Latvia and abroad who have completed their bachelor’s degree and have a wide range of interests, skills, beliefs and an unfocused
view of the purpose of life are invited to apply for the programme. Students who lack a portrait in a landscape, sound in
a still life and movement on a pedestal.
