Current events at K3

The narrative characteristics of the inked black line in comics.

The Swedish Research Council gives Gunnar Krantz, professor within the arts at K3, 1.5 million kronor for a year's work on the project " Autographic Double Exposure – the Narrative Characteristics of the Inked Black Line in Comics ." He will investigate the impact of two different printing techniques on storytelling in comics and how these can create new narratives through experimental methods. The results will be analyzed and compared and finally result in the production of a more extensive work - a graphic novel - where experiences and acquired knowledge are put to the test in practice.

Collaborate with K3

For K3, it is natural to collaborate with different parties. Many teachers and researchers run their own activities, companies or projects alongside their work. It is natural to involve people outside the university in our study programmes, degree projects, research projects or other types of projects. One exciting example is the IASPIS studio for collaboration with international artists.

Please contact us if you have ideas for collaboration with our students or researchers.
