Reasoning through Art - The Articulation of Embodied Knowledge in Art
In my talk I will ask the question whether research by artists, so-called artistic research, is equivalent to academic research. I will claim: it is not.

An Unfolding Field: Artistic Research as a Process of Emergence
By relating theory pertaining to ‘the margin’ to specific instances of artistic practice, the lecture aims to give some ideas as to how the approaches of artistic research have a potential to generate both new knowledge and fresh social and cultural orientations for art-making and reception.

Art and Ethics: A Double Framework for Artistic Research
I will suggest a double framework for articulating and addressing ethical issues in artistic research. One part stems from the broad field of research ethics. The other part will be presented as a less codifiable approach to values put in play through artistic research.

15:00 End of seminar
15:00-17:00 Snacks and drinks at Lysverket, Rasmus Meyers Allé 9
