THE PROJECT is a model-like structure of educational practice, teaching, and artistic production. It is based on a student-teacher situation, with the seminar participants' different working methods constituting the foundation for the analysis of their work and the development of a method of communication. The conflicting components within the institutional field and outside it serve as catalysts.

THE PROJECT is both a venture and a plan: reflections focus on both its conditions and the possibilities connected with this organizational form. Beatrice von Bismarck underlines the resistant dimensions of project work characterized by new formations of discursive spaces, disciplinary hybridity, and the fugitiveness of the resulting working associations. She regards the combination of practicing and performing procedures as a performative potential which outlines an artistic working concept encompassing self-organization, networking, and self-positioning.
