Symposium March 20th: Doing Artistic Research: A Collaboratory

Doing artistic research: A Collaboratory

Symposium on artistic research practices


March 20th 2018

Research Centre for Arts, Autonomy, and the Public Sphere
Faculty of Arts, Zuyd Hogeschool
Herdenkingsplein 12, Maastricht (the Netherlands)


"What you learn from any project you love is a way of paying attention. Call
it methodology if you want." (Donna Haraway in: Schneider 2005, 132)


How can artistic research be done? What sensitivities, methodologies, and
collaborations emerge in practices of artistic research? In this symposium, we
reflect on artistic research by taking a 'substantive detour': instead of
using artistic research as object of reflection, we start with concrete
examples of artistic research practices. This way, the fundamental discussion
ofhow artistic research is (or should be) done is inspired by a lively
exchange of concrete and innovative methods and practices that problematize
the current academic as well as the artistic status quo. The context of this
symposium is the initiative to try and think through a Maastricht graduate
school for Artistic Research. This graduate school is thought as a
'collaboratory' between the initiating partners: Zuyd Hogeschool (Faculty of
Arts Maastricht, Research Centre for Arts, Autonomy, and the Public Sphere),
Maastricht University (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of
Humanities and Sciences) and Van Eyck Academy.

The morning-program consists of interactive presentations of four projects,
which together explore some contours of a 'Maastricht-style' of doing artistic
research. In the panel discussion in the afternoon, we reflect on these
examples of artistic research, and question how this type of research is to be
done, by whom, what for, and where. We specifically address three themes: 1)
Methodologies-in-the-Making: developing rigorous sensitivity in practice; 2) A
Collaboratory: artistic research as 'agnostic laboratory' for cooperation
between researchers from various backgrounds, disciplines, and institutions,
and the construction of a shared (societal) problem or issue; and 3) The
Topology of Artistic Research: the relationship between artistic research and
the environment in which it takes place (its societal context), specifically
Maastricht and its EUregional environment.

Participating in the event is free. Registration is required, by sending an
email to symposium@lectoraataok.nl. The
event is organized in conjunction with the Annual Conference of the Maastricht
Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage (MACCH), which takes
place on March 18th and 19th at the Arts Faculty Maastricht. This provides
participants the additional benefit of the opportunity to combine both events
on their visit to Maastricht.
