CRITICAL CONFABULATIONS – Corresponding Practices and Mappings
(2023)
author(s): Jim Harold, Alex Hale
published in: Journal for Artistic Research
This exposition is based on an archaeological survey in the landscapes around Kilmartin Glen, Argyll and Bute, western Scotland, and references digital datasets – archaeological reference points –alongside the acts (enactments) of field walking, photography, drawing and poetry – experiences and representational discourses – to consider how land and landscapes may be read as dynamic palimpsestic and multi-dimensional fields of entanglement.
Digital datasets were used by the survey to garner fruitful material to aid identification and to analyse (subtle) surface archaeological remains in the inhospitable terrain on the hills bordering Kilmartin Glen. By analysing, categorising and archiving such information, through naming and cataloguing, archaeological methodology effectively orders and tames such wildernesses. We, by contrast, are seeking to draw art and archaeological practices into dialogue with one another in order to assert the importance of recording experiences and random acts as a part of field research and, thereby, to both re-vivify and re-wild our encounters with landscape.
Our exposition, and shared practices, intentionally encourage nuances of reading and interpretation that are found at the dialogic intersection between an artist/poet encountering archaeological landscape survey, and an archaeologist experiencing artistic, poetic and linguistic readings of land: reflecting in the process upon contemporary methodologies and underlying theoretical discourses. As such this research sits within the wider contemporary turn towards interdisciplinary practice, and seeks to establish a dialogue across disciplines; between humans and landscapes, practice and matter, that provides emerging approaches and hopes to remind us of the wild experience.

Reconfiguring Think Tanks as a discursive, social model in contemporary art | Residencies as places of continuity, mutuality, free thinking and independent research

In general, art contains in itself a revolutionary quid, as the artist - through his/her work - provides an opportunity to look at the world in a different way from that to which one was used. The art has a function of perceptive awakening and therefore of sensorial activation. This is revolutionary, because it can change your perception of life that you have had up to that time. Out of this perspective, to reconsider artist in residencies as not mere hosting institutional containers, but as laboratories of continuative production of thoughts and ideas, might also reinforce the concept that a work of art is thus the end result of a specific process – possessing specific forms and aesthetic, and that it serves no purpose except that of channelling a very specific form of energy. It’s always a sort of communicative performance. It allows man to plumb his/her own conscience and to void it, as it’s only within empty spaces that energy can unleash its creative force. For it, it is required great effort and care not just from the artist who's temporarily involved, but from the ones who run the artist in residencies themselves.

Keinuva käynti ja muutoksen tila
(2015)
author(s): Marika Orenius
published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
In my text, I ponder a process of making and researching art. As in my doctoral thesis (Home base - bodily response and spatial experiences processed to works of art) I shall now go through the process as an opening to a multiple spatial and temporal thinking. In addition to some philosophical reflection, I approach the social and political meanings of space-time and corporeality. Of these subjects, I have filmed various spaces for my upcoming video installation. The working title of the process is Parousia. The video material shown in the exposition is the raw material of the work.
Tracing Rhythm

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
Rhythm is everywhere. It is breathing and beating hearts; it is the sound of a drum and the repetitive carved lines in stone done by a prehistoric human being. It is the flickering screen and a million digital processes too small to see. It is engraved in the depth of our minds and bodies. It is remembering.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, rhythm (Greek rhythmos, derived from rhein, “to flow”) is an ordered alternation of contrasting elements, and according to Roland Barthes both painting and writing started with the same gesture, one which was neither figurative nor semantic, but simply rhythmic.
In this exposition we are approaching rhythm through contemporary artistic and archaeological gestures, starting with some engraved and painted lines drawn by our stone age ancestors in France and South Africa.
The participants are all from the artisitc research project: Matter, Gesture and Soul, which is based at the Art Academy in Bergen.
Mapa das Emoções

Nesta proposta, estamos interessadas em observar quais são as emoções convocadas no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19. Buscamos articular poéticas digitais ao campo da pesquisa (auto)biográfica de forma a criar um Mapa das Emoções numa plataforma digital para visualização artística de dados , de forma interativa, com livre acesso, em que as pessoas poderão compartilhar relatos e imagens associados a emoções específicas. Para isso, partimos das emoções que figuram na Roda das Emoções proposta pelo psicólogo Robert Plutchik (2001).

This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
O Núcleo de Práticas Artísticas Autobiográficas (NuPAA) é um grupo de pesquisa da Faculdade de Artes Visuais (FAV), da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), cadastrado em 5 de dezembro de 2018 no Diretório dos Grupos de Pesquisa no Brasil (DGP), do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). Atualmente conta com três linhas de pesquisa: Materialidades e Imaterialidades Auto/Biográficas nas Poéticas Artísticas e Processos de Criação; Processos Artísticos do Corpo e da Intimidade; Práticas Artísticas Autoficcionais e Dissidências nas Estruturas de Gênero e Colonialidade. Esta exposição é resultado de uma curadoria coletiva realizada por membros e membras do NuPAA com o objetivo de reunir fontes teóricas e artísticas disponíveis gratuitamente on-line, que possam contribuir para pesquisas em arte que se dão em diálogo com o campo dos estudos auto/biográficos. Esta exposição tem origem dos anseios do NuPAA por maior profundidade nos debates acerca das relações críticas e artísticas entre arte e autobiografia. Espera-se, assim, contribuir para as experimentações artísticas e aprofundamento teórico-crítico sobre a relevância do fazer artístico que engendra atos autobiográficos e decoloniais em tempos de abissais transformações tecnológicas, ambientais e políticas que nos atravessam no presente.

The Autobiographical Artistic Practices Research Group (NuPAA) is based on the Faculty of Visual Arts (FAV), at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), registered on December 5, 2018, in the Directory of Research Groups in Brazil (DGP), of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). It currently has three research paths: Auto/Biographic Materialities and Immaterialities in Artistic Poetics and Creation Processes; Artistic Processes of the Body and Intimacy; Autofictional Artistic Practices and Dissidence in the Structures of Gender and Coloniality. This exposition results from a collective curatorship carried out by NuPAA members to bring together theoretical and artistic sources freely available online, which can contribute to arts research in dialogue with the field of auto/biographical studies. The exposition stems from NuPAA's yearnings for greater depth in the debates about the critical and artistic relationships between art and autobiography. We expected, therefore, to contribute to creating experiments and theoretical-critical deepening on the relevance of the art practice that engenders autobiographical and decolonial acts in times of abysmal technological, environmental and political transformations that permeate us in the present.
