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.

A silence lingers where words once stood, a fragile pause between what was said and what remains forever untold.
I’m gonna build the cemetery of echoes, words suspended in time, each gaze a question, each absence a weight.
Fragments of lives held in stillness, unfinished moments longing for release. Across the space, words rise like shadows.
Memory dances with loss, the tangible and the fleeting entwined. It is not closure we seek, but the tender acknowledgment of incompleteness.

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.
There is an alternative map that allows you to browse all research by keyword.

Assembling Hanoi: Metamorphosis of Photographic Images
(2025)
Lorena Bañares
Interested in how photographs are constituted, this exposition situates itself in between materialities of photography to discover how photographs are actualized. Using photography as artistic research practice, it uncovers how matters, sounds, bodies, and machines intra-act within the practice of photography. The inquiry challenges the bifurcation between the outside/inside of the frame, rather it emphasizes its fluid nature. It delves into the cosmogenesis of a photograph exploring the multiple folds and transformations in actualizing a photograph revealing the intricate and dynamic assemblages of humans and non-humans from the outside folding with the inside. Thinking with Gilles Deleuze's concept of the Folds, the exposition was able to surface layers upon layers of bodily and material folds that trouble the traditional notion of photographs as images separated from the outside. In the middle of its messiness, the exposition was able to develop an Applique technique as a method of knowing that emerges from this artistic research practice. What came out are layers of images that describe photography as performative movement of matters and bodies, a metamorphosis of infinite images while navigating the rich culture of Vietnam’s Hanoi capital.
AS HOLA
(2025)
Aðalheiður Sigursveinsdóttir
AS this is an informal tale, restating my master’s studies.
AS I was in the midst of a Uturn, entering formal art education, my hopes and expectations were unclear but deeply felt.
AS ever, I feel compelled to question, review, examine some more. AS every question gives an indication to the inner world of the questioner. AS if I want to know if there is a pattern or a path?
AS a collector I have documented, framed and reflected with words and stored. As curators act I showcase my creative learning journey.
