CFP: The Art of Research - Making, Reflecting, and Understanding (Nov 2012, Helsinki)
This conference aims to explore the relations between MAKING and CRITICAL REFLECTION, and how these enable artistic and designerly practices to be characterized as art and design, or artistic or designerly research.
Abstracts due June 10, 2012.
November 28-29, 2012. Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture; Helsinki, Finland. http://designresearch.aalto.fi/events/aor2012/
ABOUT - While the power of artistic imagination is widely recognized, the exploration of artistic and designerly methods of knowledge acquisition underway in academia has only just become accepted by other professional communities of researchers and practitioners inhabiting the academy. Building on contemporary discourse regarding notions of practice-led research, the Art of Research Conference 2012 aims to explore the relations that can be constructed between making and critical reflection, and how these enable artistic and designerly practices to be characterized as art and design, or artistic or designerly research. Given how different fields of creative practice may be constructing these relations in different ways – e.g, in methods, tools and skills — the main aim of the event is to explore how these fields might relate to and influence each other.
This aim is guided by following questions:
- How do different art and design practices utilize artistic and designerly methods in practice-led research?
- How do artistic and designerly approaches to knowledge production enrich or impoverish the professional art and design-related practices of those who engage in them?
- How are artistic and designerly processes of critical reflection and intervention be productively synthesized in practice-led research?
- How can different forms of art, craft and design contribute new knowledge and understanding and how do they function in the distribution of knowledge?
- How can critical reflection be interpreted and understood as embodied in practice-led research?
