New Knowledge Now

New Knowledge Now is a project-based module exploring artistic research as a tool ¿ be it alone or with others. PRO231/331 focusses on exploring, defining, and developing personal and collective research methodologies ¿ as artistic/arts-based research has been a way for artists to perform and challenge the performativities of knowledges since the nineties. During this module:
1/ A selection of artistic and arts-based research projects will be the starting points of this module to question, identify and refine where, what and how artistic research and research-based methodologies can nourish and contribute to the development of artistic productions and practices.
2/ Together we will visit and explore, re/activate different formats to navigate between theories and practices in order to ¿publish¿, make public, share and circulate our common and respective knowledges.
3/ Together we will develop the thinking of and in more or less materialised knowledges.

Research strategies that support material and conceptual processes will be investigated, with special attention given to methodology, ethics, and the activation and performance of knowledge to refine your practices.
This PRO wants to provide the opportunity to think relationalities between:
- Context ¿ content ¿ format
- Methods ¿ strategies ¿ tactiques ¿ tools
- Theory ¿ practice
- Knowledge activation ¿ articulation ¿ circulation.
This, with a particular attention to:
- trans- inter- multi- disciplinary practices (matter, material, and media),
- co-practices (team and reciprocal support with peers¿ community),
- textual aspects of a research (using language itself as a matter/material).

Teacher: Ingrid Cogne

This is a project-based module exploring artistic research as a tool within your practice. Research strategies that support material and conceptual processes are investigated, with special attention given to methodology, ethics, and the activation of new knowledge.

PRO modules are designed to enrich your artist development (as explored in the ART modules) through activating skills, connecting communities of practice, and investigating disciplinary territories. PRO modules allow you to focus on a specific project critically connected to your own practice within a context established by the module leader(s).
