VIS OPEN CALL #4 - only a few days left

Don't forget to submit your exposition proposal in time. Deadline 1 December.

The theme is Affecting material and technique, Editor Trond Lossius.

Henk Borgdorff distinguishes between research on, for and in the arts. This trichotomy has proved useful in establishing artistic research as taking place through and within artistic practice. The distinction has also served to delineate what does not constitute artistic research. For example, even though research for the arts facilitates artistic practice, it is often considered secondary or external to artistic research itself. However, the development of instruments and tools is an implicit part of the research within many other disciplines. The composer and philosopher Rebecka Ahvenniemi suggests that the artistic work "may come to affect its own tools and materials, and the social space around it." Historically, there are many examples of how research in and research for the arts have overlapped.

VIS Issue 4 wants to re-examine the relationship between research in and research for the arts. We invite artistic research that enters into critical and transformative dialogue with its own tools, techniques and materials.
