This book presents the results of the Octopus Programme,
an innovative fellowship in the field of artistic research. This international network of eleven institutions included selected
participants from Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa, and generated numerous events, workshops, and exhibitions.
By promoting international collaboration, new critical perspectives were developed to investigate the diversity of artistic
research and practice in different contexts – academic as well as nonacademic – inside and outside institutions, or in relation
to resources. This brings into focus not only different curatorial models, but also different modes of knowledge production.
- Artistic research and collaboration between academies, art institutions, students, and experts
- Curatorial
forms of presentation, research and documentation, progressive educational methodology
- Contributions by Ruth Anderwald
