The Research Catalogue (RC) is a non-commercial, collaboration and publishing platform for artistic research provided by the
Society for Artistic Research. The RC is free to use for artists and
researchers. It
serves also as a backbone for teaching purposes, student assessment, peer review workflows and research funding administration. It strives to be
an open space for experimentation and exchange.

RC Visual Map / Screenshot of the RC
(2026)
Casper Schipper
A visual map of the RC. Hover over a screenshot to see the title and author. If you click you will see a gallery with a screenshot of each of its weaves. There is a form which allows you to filter based on title, author, keywords, abstract and date.
For an exposition to appear in this map, it needs to be public (share -> public or published). The map is updated once every 24 hours.
You can also collect expositions as your favorites. Note that your favorites are saved in your local browser storage, so they will only show up in that particular browser.
There is an alternative map that allows you to browse all research by keyword.
Research Subgroup SPACES OF ARTIST EDUCATION (SAR Special Interest Group 5: Artist Pedagogy Research Group)
(2026)
Joonas Lahtinen, Haris pellapaisiotis, Sharon Stewart, Mareike Nele Dobewall, Assunta Ruocco, Arnas Anskaitis
The research subgroup SPACES OF ARTIST EDUCATION focuses on exploring the relationships between artists’ pedagogies, educational spaces, and learning environments in artist education. The key interest of the subgroup is to investigate how different spaces influence, facilitate and regulate interaction, communication and ways of teaching and learning both at art universities and in non-institutional settings. The subgroup aims to gather colleagues from diverse artistic disciplines and research backgrounds to discuss the spatial, material, bodily, performative and institutional aspects of teaching art practice, as well as their connections with educational policies, relations of power, traditions of artist education, and the very ideas about pedagogy and didactics, mastery, knowing, art, creativity, resources, accessibility, space and place.

Visual Overeating: Pop Culture and the Chronically Online
(2026)
Denisa Ponomarevová, Daniela Ponomarevová
Through drawing, installation, and handmade objects, the exposition explores popular culture, spectacle, and visual symbolism. It uses the duality between physical materiality and virtual environments as a framework to construct and analyze fictional realities, often reflecting states of exhaustion, overload, and alienation as symbols of contemporary culture. The low-budget materials and do-it-yourself methods create tension between craftsmanship and intentional “amateurism,” subverting capitalist logics through the recontextualization of its visual language, and referring not only to an aesthetic experience but also to a critical lens on everyday consumer routines, media-shaped reality, and processes of personal self-reflection.
Bus Stop
(2026)
Julija Jonas
The act of waiting, which refers to the public transport stop as a metaphor for the condition of migration, is used in this research to explore the temporal and emotional aspects of migration. Bus stop serves as both a physical site and a symbolic threshold, a space of transition, suspension, and projection toward an uncertain future. Within this context, the project traces the transformative phases experienced during emigration, emphasizing the temporal dimension of waiting, expectation, and the tension inherent in moments of immobility. The outcome of the project is a site-specific installation, situated directly within the public space, specifically at bus stops, where the object destabilizes the everyday rhythm of transit. By oscillating between staged intervention and authentic environment, the project foregrounds the paradoxical beauty of stillness, alongside the latent unease of anticipation.
The Virgin, the Bitch, the Witch
(2026)
Anežka Součková
The project presents a distinctive mythopoeic audiovisual language created to express the experience of aging in a female body in the period between the twenties and thirties. Within the context of life in a late capitalist patriarchal society, and both individual and global events, it reflects on the age-old questions of the passage of time and the search for the meaning of life. At the same time, it examines the feelings of pressure, heaviness, and disposability that are part of the shared common experience of women. Through written word, cinematic language, and original author-composed music, it interweaves symbols and situations in which mud and natural metaphors play a significant role.
