And _ Blinkbonny Avenue and strangeness of everyday life
(2024)
Niina Marjatta Turtola
This is a research project into building an artist book that uses typographic devices and page layout in construction a multilayered narrative. Everyday life and actual events are part of of the narrative backbone and this is mostly photographic material. Another layer consists on dialogues (verbal, email, etc) between 2015- and ongoing between the two researchers involved in the project. This is language-based written material. Third layer is the thematic context in building the actual book which happens in the academic presentations, performances and knowledge disseminations.
RÅDJUREN, FLICKORNA, eller PLAY & FAIL
(2024)
Anna Nygren
My research is a failed writer's failed attempt to become a literary scholar. I'm researching from the position of an amoeba in academia – at certain moments I claim to be a Trojan Horse, a Trixster, or something else subversive. But more often than not it just ends up being: failure. I write from a writing-reading position. Where my reading of literature is infiltrated by my writing practice. This exposition is based on my failed dissertation in literature, which I am now trying to recover in the form of an artistic research project. The literary dissertation is about Monika Fagerholm's novel "Who killed Bambi?" (2019), and my failure is the inability to be scientific and detached, to stay within the framework. In the exposition I examine this from a queer/lesbian and neuroqueer/autistic perspective. I start from an emotional (un)knowledge and try to distort ideas and boundaries between failure and play.
