Briefly put, the LungA School is an independent, artist-led institution and situation where it is experimented with artistic practice as a way of doing, thinking and being in order to cultivate, disturb, distort and transform our notions of aesthetics, learning and perception. The LungA School currently has two different programs. They exist separately, simultaneously and function as each other’s support and constant interruption.

A composition for untrained voices: The twelve-week Art program (formerly '84') occurs twice a year, in the fall and the spring.

The program consists of a mix of workshop weeks hosted by guest artists and weeks focused on developing both individual and collective praxis through experimentation, conversation and reflection. The program is also an ongoing exploration of what an arts program can be, and all participants are part of shaping, molding, disturbing and maintaining this conversation – and the program itself.

Participants have access to various studio spaces and facilities to support their investigation and practice. Participants stay and live at the school for the duration of the program. Whether you have a background in art or wish to pursue further education within this field is not important. It is important that you hold an interest in artistic practice, have the desire to learn and explore, and be open to surprises and challenges.

The organisers would like you to show this interest in your application by sending a portfolio or describing your ideas of a practice within the questions asked.
