What does it mean to conduct artistic research today? This exposition of artistic-research
work is an invitation to reflect on the present through the prism of current artistic research. Situated in-between provocation
and reflection, the exhibition and the series of public lecture-performances and lectures give insight into the diversity
of topics, methods, perspectives, and discursive and display strategies afforded by artistic research.
What are
the limitations and hazards of such intermingling, and what becomes generative and fecund in these contact zones? To discuss
these questions together with the artist-researchers, this four-day event extends an invitation to be present and join the
PhD in Art program in discussing the exhibition and presentations of the current state of the PhD in Art projects. Reflecting
on the candidates’ artistic work together with the audience, on the practices, modes and methods of research and critical
analysis, four renowned international guest critics will contribute from their perspective and give insight into their own
work in the field.
