artistic research quotes

By tom holert | Published: February 25, 2011
Allan Kaprow “Allan Kaprow has been preaching since 1964 that pure research should be propelled in art and art education like it is in any other academic field, and avant guarde-think-tank should be mobilized to vitalize the often too cautious academic community. […] Kaprow’s far-sight to modulate the avant guarde invention into the ‘outer space’ *** read more ***

Research as a Mode of Operation: Knowledge Production and (Self)Empowerment in an Art Historical Perspective

By tom holert | Published: February 25, 2011
The current discourse about research in the arts suspiciously lacks almost any historical perspective, as if the contemporary situation were unprecedented. Arguably, this apparent lack provides the proponents of the research-driven art university with the authority of an academic (and quintessentially Western) research ethics and imbues them with the status of inventors of a ‘new’ *** read more ***

Interview Ausschnitt: Tom Holert

By Johanna Schaffer | Published: February 20, 2011
JS: Mein eigenes Verhältnis zum Begriff ‘künstlerische Forschung’ ist aufgrund der Art, wie dieser Begriff gegenwärtig institutionell beschäftigt wird, eher ambivalent. Gleichzeitig interessiert mich, wie das, was sich als Bezeichnung für einen sehr grundlegenden Bestandteil künstlerischer oder gestalterischer oder auch produktiver Arbeit verstehen läßt,  zunehmend verengt und auch instrumentalisiert wird in einem Zusammenhang, dem es *** read more ***
