Information about the English speakers
Sanne Kofod Olsen is an art historian and dean of Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts at Gothenburg University. She has been the vice-chancellor of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, Schools of Visual Art & Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen; Director at Museum for Contemporary Art in Roskilde and Dean at Funen Art Academy. Before this she was employed at the Danish Art Foundation apart from being a freelancing curator and writer.
She has among others been member of the Danish Arts Foundation Council, Novo Nordisk Research Foundation’s Committee for art historical and artistic research and at present member of Bikuben Foundations Committee for Academic Guest House in New York as well as chair in the Swedish Network for Art Education, Konstext.
Kofod Olsen has contemporary fine arts as her research area, with special focus on performance and conceptual art practices.
The Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts was established in 1999, 22 years after a handful of art institutions had become a part of Gothenburg University as part of the new Higher Education Act in 1977. Since 2001 with its own research education. More were to follow. In 2027 when the faculty, that now consists of two institutions, will move in together in a new building, we can also celebrate 50 years as a part of Gothenburg University. What kind of impact has the arts faculty had on Academia and GU as such after all these years? These are the questions that will be speculated on in the lecture.
