2010–17
Between 2010–15, Field Studies took place in what is today the School of Art, Architecture and Design, London Metropolitan University. In 2017, Field Studies paid tribute to Pauline Oliveros with a special symposium, series of workshops and events at the University of Leeds, School of Art, curated by Ed McKeon and Sam Belinfante.
Since then, Field Studies and its pedagogy has existed in a state of itineracy, roaming across numerous teaching projects inside and outside the framework of higher education, Musarc’s curatorial programme and artist commissions, and in the work of more than 150 participants the programme brought together over a period of six years.
Some alumni of Field Studies have returned to the programme as tutors, collaborated with the choir and its affiliated institutions, and established extensive independent careers which were often emerging when they first joined the programme, including Davide Tidoni, Georgia Rodgers, Áine O’Dwyer, Heleen van Haegenborgh, Sophie Hoyle, Ania Kanngieser, Alex de Little and others.
2025
In 2025, Field Studies will take place for the first time in a central European location accessible to a broader, international audience. Presented in collaboration with Luca School of Arts, Ghent, Field Studies 2025 marks the beginning of a new, five-year-long series of summer schools and teaching events that seek to respond to the changing nature of art practice and education. In the long term, Field studies aims to work towards a plurilingual, planetary academy and pedagogy that contests the limits of traditional epistemologies, notions of technology, intelligence and community.
