Programme
The Gutenberg Sound Art Academy offers an artistic and theory-based certificate programme in the field of sound art. The programme will take place from 19 to 26 August 2019.
Participants will work closely in artistic masterclasses with the internationally renowned artists Bernhard Leitner (Vienna), Miya Masaoka (New York) and Peter Kiefer (Mainz). They will have the opportunity to be mentored by the artists and will receive valuable input and ideas which they can apply to their own artistic work. To facilitate exchange and debate among the participants, theory sessions on how to exhibit, curate and communicate sound art will constitute part of the weeklong course.
The Exhibiting Sound Art Symposium will follow at the weekend. Museum directors, scholars, journalists and editors will explore the variety of relations between sound as an object of investigation. Issues of sound as a medium of art and culture and possibilities and conditions of exhibiting sound art will be discussed.
Exhibiting Sound Art Symposium

The symposium is free of charge and open to the public.
The course programme also includes an exhibition of works by Bernhard Leitner, Miya Masaoka and Peter Kiefer.
Course structure
The participants can choose a course under the artistic direction of Bernhard Leitner or Miya Masaoka, in which the artistic forms of work can be concretely implemented and explored. Peter Kiefer will offer individual instruction. There will also be the opportunity to present and discuss the participants’ artistic works in the group.
Participants will be able to present their own works in a small exhibition. The equipment must be brought along completely – we call it a ‘Kofferausstellung’ (suitcase exhibition).
The theory programme and the symposium are open to all course participants.
Active or passive participation in the course programme is possible. It is recommended that active participants arrive on 18 August.
Passive participation as an auditor involves attending the artists’ masterclasses and the theory-based program as well as the symposium without actively taking part.
If you are a scholar or expert in the field and would like to contribute to the symposium, please contact us by mid-April 2019.
