Faculty of Fine Arts is represented by Professor Lisbet Skregelid from the department of Visual Arts and Drama. University of Agder (UiA) is located in the Southern region of Norway. The university has a total of 12 000 students, and 1100 employees. The Faculty of Fine Arts is the seat of the research platform Art in Context. Here we carry out research within the fields of music, theatre, and the visual subjects through different interdisciplinary and cross-aesthetic perspectives. The objective is to understand and analyse art in relation to complex social, cultural, didactic, and historical contexts. This context-orientation reflects current tendencies in present-day artistic practices and in current arts-subject research. The Art in Context platform involves four research groups, amongst them Art and Young People led by Skregelid.
