This is the third K3 seminar in a series dealing with artistic research. Here is a short abstract for the talk:

Abstract:

Recent years have seen the rise of critiques of artistic research, formulated from within the field itself, and which often express a desire to move beyond the epistemological limits of “research” into a state of an “after” or post-research. In this presentation, I will argue for a less linear approach than what the post-research perspectives usually suggest, while still in keeping with its openness to new avenues of knowledge production. Instead of post-research then, I propose a more transversal perspective where the many possible pre’s- , mid’s- and post’s- of artistic research have been, and very much are, co-existing as well as up for re-negotiation and rediscovery. This also calls for a humble epistemology, of onto-epistemic openings that arise out of specific spatio-temporal conditions for artistic research. The presentation comes out of an experience of engaging with artistic research in Denmark, which in terms of institutionalization has arguably not even left the “pre-” stage of Artistic Research, but which in other respects has developed its own unique traditions.
