Festival of Artistic Research: ARTikulationen 2024, 2-5 Oct 2024

We are pleased to announce our upcoming Festival of Artistic Research ARTikulationen 2024. ARTikulationen interweaves in-depth presentations of very recent artistic research and findings, a festival character, and a mini-symposium – this year on matters of "researchability" and "artistic freedom and research". We examine free spaces as spaces of possibility: the question of artistic restrictions, ways of knowing and unconventional kinds of scope for experimentation in the context of artistic research. The mini-symposium combines keynotes by composers Isabel Mundry and Peter Ablinger, a panel discussion "Leeways and Strictures in Artistic Experimentation" – with Annesley BlackEngin DağlıkJessica Kaiser and Anne La Berge, which is moderated by Jeremy Woodruff and organised in collaboration with ORF musikprotokoll – and a book presentation by Elisabeth van Treeck. Located at the Theater im Palais (TiP) of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), ARTikulationen is organised by the Doctoral School for Artistic Research (KWDS).

Over the course of four days you can hear, see, and discuss artistic research presentations from a large variety of fields ranging from current acoustic, electroacoustic, and computer composition, historically informed and contemporary performance. Further highlights of the Festival are four Rigorosa (final doctoral presentations and defenses) by Daniela Braun, Raphael FuscoRoxanne Dykstra, and Adela Liculescu (with an additional full solo piano recital), as well as current research presentations by doctoral candidates Hugo Vasco ReisJudith FliedlMelody ChuaMaryam MehrabanLorenzo OrsenigoZsombor Sidoo, and Po-Yu Wang. The festival character appears not only by way of examples from practice within the presentations, but also in intermezzi (short live and filmed research performances) by doctoral candidates as well as one by flutist and composer Anne La Berge. The event concludes with a closing/farewell session with degree and best practice award announcements. The contributions are in English except where indicated by the German title and notes.

ARTikulationen is a very discursive local event with ample time for questions and discussions, with added live-streamed Rigorosa and online discussants. The admission is free. The official opening is on Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at 14:00 CEST; the closing session is on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at 14:15 CEST.

The event takes place at Theater im Palais, Leonhardstraße 19, 8010 Graz, with the exception of one Rigorosum (Daniela Braun) to take place at the AULA KUG, Brandhofgasse 21.

We hope you might enjoy the live-streams, and are looking forward to welcoming some of you in Graz very soon!
