[David Wilkinson]

Dear All,
             we would very much appreciate if you 
could distribute this news as widely as possible.
 
As we have recently received a small grant we 
would like to pass on the financial benefits of 
this to our potential students. We are therefore 
reducing the costs on the 2004 TIPP programme. We 
would remind you that all costs include 
breakfast, main meal and accommodation. Students 
should arrange their own transport and insurance. 
The programme is an intensive teaching programme 
staffed by tutors from both Goldsmith and 
|Budapest Academy.
The programme can serve as an introduction to 
postgraduate study at either institution.
 
International Course In Contemporary Art
 
International Students: (980euro) reduced to 700euro
  
To allow people time to respond to these changes 
we have set a new deadline for applicants of the 
15 August. If you are interested in participating 
in this programme or would like to apply please 
contact Margit Valko: vendemiaire at c3.hu

Course of Study
A course of study for a group of international 
artists, who have already started to move in a 
specific direction within their work and who 
would like to participate in a three-week long 
intensive programme, which is offering the 
opportunity to further develop their working 
practice. The course focuses on helping artists 
to reach a heightened understanding of their work 
in a wider artistic, cultural and theoretical 
context. The course provides and opportunity to 
have access to teaching staff from both 
Goldsmiths College and Budapest Academy and can 
serve as an introduction to postgraduate study at

Location
Tihany is a peninsula reaching out into Lake 
Balaton, the largest fresh water lake in Central 
Europe.  The Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts' 
premises where TIPP is based are the original 
agricultural buildings of the Benedictine 
monastery. The setting is unusually serene and 
forms part of a large nature reserve. The 2000 m2 
grounds of the facility accommodate an array of 
buildings set in fields that roll down to the 
side of a small inland fishing lake, the Belsö Tó.
The facility boasts a huge medieval open barn 
that acts as a studio and exhibition space during 
the summer. There are also many other buildings 
that may be used as studios and exhibition 
spaces. Students on the programme are encouraged 
to explore the site and make new work in and 
around it.

Fees
International Students: (700 Euro)
 
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 15 Auguest 2004

TIPP
Tihany International Postgraduate Program

GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE, LONDON - HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS

TIPP - Tihany International Postgraduate Program 
is an international collaborative research 
initiative between the Visual Arts Department at 
Goldsmiths College, London and the Hungarian 
Academy of Fine Arts. The program includes 
symposiums, intensive courses, conferences, 
artist-in-residencies, exhibitions and other 
events as well as the production of publications. 
Our aim is to create an international forum for 
artists to explore the creative diversity of 
contemporary fine art practice and the nature of 
the critical discourse, which surrounds it.  As 
Hungary has been a crossroads between the East 
and West for hundreds of years, its accession 
this spring to the European Union places it again 
at the heart of the reunited Europe. Recognising 
these changes we feel that part of TIPP's role is 
in providing a forum where people from different 
nationalities and ethnicity's may participate in 
a number of challenging Fine Art based programs. 
The programs are situated at the newly renovated 
premises of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts in 
Tihany, where participants have the opportunity 
to experience art, theory and debate away from 
its usual urban environment. In locating TIPP 
this way, a uniquely open atmosphere is created. 
From experience we have found that the 
opportunity for more relaxed social interaction 
between participants directly contributes to 
freer expression and sharing of ideas and a more 
open forum for debate.
