Introduction to Artistic [Practice Based] Research
Prof. Ana Sánchez-Colberg

Nov 29–Dec 1, via zoom, language: English 

Organizers: Estonian Graduate School of Culture Studies and Arts, Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre 

3 ECTS

The seminars offer participants an introduction to the specific paradigm of ‘artistic research’.

Timetable: 

Monday, November 29, 11.00-14.00

Session 1: we will discuss the key terms that serve as the critical framework to understand the specificity of the activity undertaken as ‘artistic research’.

• What is practice?
• What is research?
• What is artistic research and how does it differ from other modes of scholarly inquiry?

Tuesday, November 30, 11.00-14.00 

Session 2: In Day 1 we established the critical framework, in this seminar we will consider the implication of pursuing artistic research in relation to:

• The exposition of the research
• The methods of the research.
• The concepts and compositional issues that arise from the process

Wednesday, December 1, 11.00-14.00 

Session 3: we will explore the frame of ‘phenomenology’ as a ‘metaframe’ that underpins aspects of artistic research in its re-evaluation of the triadic relationship between artist/object and its ‘audience/public’, central to artistic research.

The seminars are delivered online; through breakout rooms the group will work on practical tasks as well as engaged in peer-to-peer dialogue.
