Lecturers

04, 06

Description

This module provides students with a range of approaches to artistic research as well as the skills necessary for undertaking it as part of their degree. The module aims to foster the production of artistic source materials, plans, conceptual and technical experimentation and research work which maps the research topic and the formal strategies to be employed along the way. Through the lectures and seminars students will examine and explore the varied and multiple methods involved in researching, proposing and developing a critical artistic production. This will include the politics and ethics of research, examining digital media production through textual analysis, the use of archival and electronic sources and the relationship of discursive theoretical positions to artistic production-based work. Lecturers:Astarti Athanasiadou, Steef Kersbergen, Claudia Brazzale

Description

This module provides a theoretical and practical process around the modes, meanings and functions of documentation and dissemination of practice-as-research. In a co-teaching format, various perspectives and approaches are exposed and discussed to help students develop their own standard and practice of documentation and dissemination. This module accompanies the module ‘Dissertation by Practice’, and will guide you to make a portfolio where you expose aspects of your practice-as-research (from ‘Dissertation by Practice’) in a tangible artefact format. From informal documentation as a research tool to more formal documentation as a tool of outreach (and many points between), this module seeks to encourage the practice of documenting as an integrated element of the student’s broader work and culminates with the delivery of a tangible portfolio contextualized by a final group show. Lecturers:Verena Stenke (VestAndPage), Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage), Dr Anja Foerschner
