The Radboud University Nijmegen (in the Netherlands) are advertising a fully-funded PhD project on the subject of Experimental Approaches to Global Histories of Art/Architecture.
According to the brief:
The proposed PhD project, ’Experimental Approaches to Global Histories of Art and Architecture’, will uncover and historicise experimental approaches to the history of art and architecture, with the aim of exploring diverse epistemological viewpoints. We are interested in PhD projects on artists, architects, historians, critics, and curators who used alternative media to challenge the narratives and methodologies of the history of art and architecture. The PhD project could focus on objects and practices that take the form of artworks, buildings, more complex intermedia projects, or curatorial and pedagogical experiments. The experimental practices under study may have emerged at any point from the nineteenth century to today, anywhere in world. Methodologically, the project encourages PhD candidates to uncover unpublished and under-examined sources that can help us rethink existing disciplinary frameworks.
The potential 4-year project comes with a salary of €2,770 gross per month which will increase to €3,539 in the fourth year. Applications must be in by 15th August 2024.
Good luck if you're applying, and good luck distilling this vast topic within a mere 4 years!
