PERIPETI – SPECIAL ISSUE I
THE ARTISTIC RESEARCH PROCESS: GETTING LOST, BEING FOUND
Artistic research, like all research, is commonly assumed to aim towards the production, acquisition, and dissemination of knowledge. But what kind of knowledge are we looking for through Artistic Research? And do we even agree that the production of knowledge is the purpose of artistic research?
This issue wants to shed light on the initial and processual phases of artistic research. Concepts such as knowledge production, method and methodology, research questions and research field are important in academic research, but what is their priority and function in artistic research? Or rather; how do they form and inform the process and how does the process inform and form these concepts?
Perhaps one can ask:
- How, and where does the research take place in your practice? And how then does artistic research differ from art production in general?
- We would encourage a focus on the processes in a project rather than the outcome, the piece, the work, and rather ask where in your process new knowledge become apparent?
- Are there different forms and types of knowledge?
- How can the artist researcher devise his or her process in order to acquire knowledge?
- How do structural and institutional conditions influence and determine the conception and choice of methodology and execution of the artistic research project?
These and other questions should be tackled from within the field of artistic research practice – in media res – where concrete artistic work intertwines with artistic reflections and meta-reflection. We would like you to reflect upon these concepts through your own practice discussing them, challenging them or perhaps expanding, reformulating or even dismissing them.
