Description

As an epistemological field, what is referred to as "artistic research" is in the process of becoming both methodologically differentiated and academically consolidated. In this course, we will discuss the possibilities and challenges of this movement with a view to connecting it to concrete research projects. In each session, we will receive and discuss a current position on the topic, which we will relate to so-called best practice examples. In this way, we aim to provide inspiration and vocabulary for independent research designs and methods.
