Master in Fine Arts - Work.Master Contemporary Artistic Practices

2026 ADMISSIONS

The Work.Master program is part of the Visual Arts Department at HEAD – Genève.
It is an international Master's program, bilingual in English and French, dedicated to contemporary, multidisciplinary studio-based art practices.

Open to all practices, regardless of medium, the Work.Master fosters the emergence of situated forms and supports approaches grounded in the complexity of the contemporary world, engaging with its social, economic, technical, political and technological dimensions. Deeply multidisciplinary and intersectional, the program encourages bold, curious, passionate, and committed practices.

The Work.Master’s pedagogical approach is tailored to each student, in concert with the unique interests and needs of their individual artistic practices. Inspired by traditions of alternative pedagogies and committed to horizontal teaching, the Work.Master places experimentation at its core, whether methodological, discursive, or formal.

The program includes a variety of formats: student-led projects, workshops, one-on-one meetings with artists and researchers, writing the master thesis, regular critique sessions, and juries. Whether practical or theoretical, these activities often culminate in public outputs such as exhibitions, publications, and symposiums.
