The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Schools of Visual Arts, seeks a high-profile visual artist with solid practice-based experience and knowledge of painting and other artistic image-making for a professorship in painting and pictorial practices for the Schools’ master’s programme.
We expect you to have a distinctive artistic practice, visions for art education in the future, and a passion for teaching and further developing an inspiring and international study programme at the highest level.
The School of Painting and Pictorial Practices focuses on painting and image-making practices pivoting on the development of painting in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Painting is part of contemporary art’s diverse approaches to artistic practice, and it is a prerequisite, therefore, that you have insight into the multifarious modes of expression in contemporary art and like to teach and guide students with differing practices and standpoints, also those outside your sphere of expertise.
As professor, you will provide a first-rate study environment, develop and strengthen the subject field through your artistic practice, teaching skills, and artistic research, thereby helping our students to acquire a solid artistic practice, which may lead to art production at the highest level.
As part of your work at the School of Painting and Pictorial Practices, we also expect you to play an active role in developing students’ opportunities to acquire a sustainable working life in art through your teaching and course planning.
