ALPes is a research programme specialising in artistic practices in the public space. With its guest speakers (artists, communicators, theorists) ALPes develops theoretical reflection concerning art in the wider context (architecture, suburban areas, landscapes), commission typologies, new reception mechanisms and art in situ. Thanks to its collaborative ventures with different regional social and cultural partner organisations, the programme is able to carry out full-scale experimentation in the city. ALPes has defined new exploration and interaction processes between art and territory. Keen to invent new forms of visibility for art, ALPes is a means to encounter, to confront and to debate with the city. The programme is aimed at young artists concerned with the problems of art/public space, that is, those recently graduated from an Art school or equivalent background. It leads to the realisation of individual and group practical work involved with territory and the city.

Qualification awarded: Certificate of Advanced Studies (20 ECTS)
Duration: 2 semesters (i.e. 1 – 2 days per week over 32 weeks in total)
Fees: 750 CHF per semester
