The Faculty
The Faculty dedicates itself to answering the central questions 'what is artistic research and production', by following case-studies of persons who practice artistic research and production.
As an answer to the above mentioned question the Faculty proposes to respond by a indication of possibilities instead of offering a scientific definition, and invites to join, follow and accompany some of these possibilities in their practice and development.
____________________________
Departments
The faculty opens departments by inviting practitioners to become tutors of their personal practice. By holding authority of one's own department of practice, each participant is both a tutor as much as a student within the faculty
____________________________
Conversation
The Faculty uses conversations to invite new practitioners and to research practices of invisibility.

Newspaper
The faculty develops a series of newspapers, for example at the occasion of a manifestation, which it reflects, documents, extends or summarizes. The newspapers contain conversations held with faculty members and are used to inform participants and public on the different departments and their developments.
____________________________
Partners
The faculty invites institutional partners as academic institutions, art-spaces and galleries dedicated to or interested in artistic research to share the agreement of developing the faculty. These partners are invited to commit to the faculties' development. They are encouraged to host one of the faculty's manifestations in which they will play an active role in developing starting points and formats.
____________________________
Manifestations
The Faculty creates several platforms which will be dedicated to a specific issue of practices of invisibility, such as the conversation, presence or language in which it invites members of the faculty to act as mediators for this aspect of invisibility. Each manifestation develops its own form generated from the dialogue between involved participants.

Archive
The faculty archives materials of interest to the different departments as publications, video's and recordings without claiming to cover scientifically the history of the invisible and conceptual in art-history. The Faculty's archive can be integrated into the faculty's manifestations.
____________________________
Practitioners
The faculty invites practices which come from the arts and enter the real, leave the art-world for a good reason, mediate artistic practices, reside in the shade of the visual arts, explore the virtual, explore the invisible, address the border between vision and imagination, explore the usage of language both as a tool of poetry and as tool of definition, dealing with psychic phenomena, address other invisible dynamics and phenomena.

The Faculty of Invisibility is initiated by Inga Zimprich.
