Within
the
diverse
activities
of
AVU
with
the
participation
of
foreign
experts,
the
international
program
of
creative
practice
called
the
Visiting
Artist's
Studio
has
a
special
place.
Since
2007,
19
internationally
established
personalities
have
taken
turns
in
it,
who
pass
on
their
practical
professional
experience
to
selected
students
in
the
form
of
one-semester
internships.
The
studio
of
the
visiting
artist
is
located
in
the
national
cultural
monument,
the
Art
Nouveau
villa
of
the
sculptor
Ladislav
Šaloun
in
Vinohrady.
The
focus
and
topic
of
the
given
semester
internship
will
be
presented
by
the
guest
artist
in
person
at
the
introductory
lecture
in
the
AVU
Auditorium.
The
methods
of
working
with
students
differ
from
established
procedures
in
home
studios
in
particular
by
offering
the
possibility
of
group
creative
practice
(in
addition
to
own
creation)
and
the
emphasis
on
participatory
forms
of
artistic
expression.
Here,
students
can
try
out
models
reminiscent
of
the
professional
conditions
of
the
author's
production
of
exhibitions
and
artefacts,
events
intended
for
public
space,
and
they
will
get
information
about
the
functioning
of
the
art
apparatus
and
the
position
of
the
artist
elsewhere
in
the
world.
This
creates
space
for
them
to
compare
the
state
of
their
own
work
with
international
expectations
and
standards.
Studio
meetings
are
held
by
arrangement
with
the
visiting
artist
at
the
beginning
of
the
semester
(usually
2
times
a
week).
Students
are
expected
to
be
actively
engaged
on
a
full-time
basis
and
willing
to
work
collectively.
Communication
in
the
studio
takes
place
in
English.
