ArtScience Performances are a selection of 26 typed, individually numbered file cards. Each performance is selected from the entrance criteria as formulated in the ArtScience Study Guide (ASG) 2006-2007, pp. 16-17.

ArtScience Performances evolve around the influence of art education on the (future) artist and his production. As formulated in the ASG, the artist is supposed to perform over fifty different acts, in order to be admitted into the ArtScience curriculum. All these acts, or performances, have to be done, and as such, are the first and direct influence of the department on the artist's artistic output.

ArtScience Performances focus on this aspect by deconstructing and amplifying the performance aspect of the admission requirements. These performances are, when performed as singular and decontextualized pieces, absurd and nearly void and in that sense they are very similar to Fluxus performances. Also, the format, file cards, is reminiscent to this similarity. Instead of focusing on content, these pieces extended the form of classical (music) compositions to the realm of concepts and ideas and recycled its compositional methods. ArtScience Performances aim to similarly provide a counterpoint to the presentation methods employed by the ArtScience department, and the textual and contextual aspects of the ASG, such as the way the requirements are presented: in (enumerated) lists, and publicly. Moreover, each student performing a single piece is one step closer to admission into the ArtScience department. Formal entrance is thus dissected in the consecutive performance of the different, independent acts.

ArtScience Performances stress the status of the ArtScience department both as provider of artistic possibilities, as well as target audience. The main questions they pose are on the status of the ArtScience deparment as target audience, as primary (and major) influence on the artist, and the conceptual validity of entrance requirements: why not send two pass photos to everyone?
