AAIS explores the boundaries between art, architecture and performance to reveal unseen networks between professions, products and methodologies. The studio operates as an interdisciplinary creative studio for knowledge exchange, allowing students to develop a language with which to communicate between disciplines. Participants in the programme research, design and produce a series of genre-defying spatial performances and installations through which they examine the ways in which creative work and design overlap during the development of projects and events. Students work with visual art, the performing arts, design and media practices, aiming to challenge rather than uphold the accepted divisions between them.
We create pathways for students to learn new skills and techniques. The programme has established connections to other institutions, academics and practices within a wide range of creative disciplines; these contribute to the programme through lectures, seminars, exercises, tutorials and talks. The studio also creates real-world projects that shape the work of the year and enable public participation. Alongside this, students are encouraged to build new professional networks from creative backgrounds as diverse and complementary as performance, design, music, film, photography, fashion, communication and curation.
