In these circumstances
On collaboration, performativity, self-organisation and transdisciplinarity in research-based practices
‘In these circumstances: On collaboration, performativity, self-organisation and transdisciplinarity in research-based practices’ assembles curatorial, artistic and pedagogical practices inspired by a.pass: an international artistic and educational research environment focusing on performativity and scenography.
This book discloses a history of the methods of artistic research in the context of the academisation of art education, and an abrasion of the once unbridled scene of artist-run organisations in Northern Europe. There are 35 contributions, many of them collaborative, ranging from concrete projects to interrogative speculations about artistic research. It aims to demonstrate how artistic research operates institutionally through a complex intertwinement of practices and how a.pass, over the past 14 years, has carved out a space for artistic research to imbricate in fields of both art and education, and stir the sediments of disciplinary enclosures.
