about

In Mulhouse and Strasbourg, the Haute école des arts du Rhin aims to promote an original model of art teaching favoring the porosity and synergy of the arts. It gathers together, over three sites, over 700 students and 150 teachers and proposes 20 degrees and curricula.
Its vocation is to train creators in the domains of the visual arts (art, art-object, design, textile design, set design, graphic communication, illustration, visual didactics) and performers and composers in the musical domain (ancient music, classical music, jazz and improvised music).

research programmes

Espaces sonores / Sound spaces

Bringing together the teams working in the field of sound arts in the HEAR, this programme studies the artistic, cultural and social ramifications of the relationships between sound and space since the advent of modernism, and creates new tools that are both practical and theoretical, so as to better understand, analyze and apprehend them in a critical manner. A first report will be presented as part of the main section of the third issue of TACET, the peer reviewed research publication published by the HEAR in 2014.
Coordination : Yvan ÉTIENNE, Bertrand GAUGUET, Philippe LEPEUT, Joachim MONTESSUIS and Matthieu SALADIN.
