<br>"What you learn from any project you love is a way of paying attention. Call
<br>it methodology if you want." (Donna Haraway in: Schneider 2005, 132)
<br>
<br>
<br>How can artistic research be done? What sensitivities, methodologies, and
<br>collaborations emerge in practices of artistic research? In this symposium, we
<br>reflect on artistic research by taking a 'substantive detour': instead of
<br>using artistic research as object of reflection, we start with concrete
<br>examples of artistic research practices. This way, the fundamental discussion
<br>ofhow artistic research is (or should be) done is inspired by a lively
<br>exchange of concrete and innovative methods and practices that problematize
<br>the current academic as well as the artistic status quo. The context of this
<br>symposium is the initiative to try and think through a Maastricht graduate
<br>school for Artistic Research. This graduate school is thought as a
<br>'collaboratory' between the initiating partners: Zuyd Hogeschool (Faculty of
<br>Arts Maastricht, Research Centre for Arts, Autonomy, and the Public Sphere),
<br>Maastricht University (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of
<br>Humanities and Sciences) and Van Eyck Academy.
<br>
<br>The morning-program consists of interactive presentations of four projects,
<br>which together explore some contours of a 'Maastricht-style' of doing artistic
<br>research. In the panel discussion in the afternoon, we reflect on these
<br>examples of artistic research, and question how this type of research is to be
<br>done, by whom, what for, and where. We specifically address three themes: 1)
<br>Methodologies-in-the-Making: developing rigorous sensitivity in practice; 2) A
<br>Collaboratory: artistic research as 'agnostic laboratory' for cooperation
<br>between researchers from various backgrounds, disciplines, and institutions,
<br>and the construction of a shared (societal) problem or issue; and 3) The
<br>Topology of Artistic Research: the relationship between artistic research and
<br>the environment in which it takes place (its societal context), specifically
<br>Maastricht and its EUregional environment.
<br>
<br>Participating in the event is free. Registration is required, by sending an
<br>email to symposium@lectoraataok.nl. The
<br>event is organized in conjunction with the Annual Conference of the Maastricht
<br>Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage (MACCH), which takes
<br>place on March 18th and 19th at the Arts Faculty Maastricht. This provides
<br>participants the additional benefit of the opportunity to combine both events
<br>on their visit to Maastricht.
