• Il peso morto (2025) author(s): Gauri Abbattista connected to: Enacting Artistic Research published in: Research Catalogue
  Il progetto si sviluppa intorno alla fascinazione delle spoglie e alla loro natura in quanto materiale organico non più vivo. L’ispirazione iniziale parte da un testo di Sergio Blanco, Memento Mori. Da li inizia una ricerca sul significato personale e intimo della morte, argomento ad oggi banalizzato dalle continue interpretazioni piatte e falsificate di un evento fin troppo naturale. La mia ricerca si basa sull’analisi del cambiamento di significato determinato dal contesto.

  A Terceira Mão/ The Third Hand (2025) author(s): Carolina Albuquerque published in: Research Catalogue
  Este ensaio tem como objetivo apresentar uma reflexão, em forma de registro de memórias sobre as experiências relacionadas à obra "Terceira Mão", tanto em seu aspecto simbólico quanto em sua materialidade. Esta investigação artística insere-se no contexto do doutoramento em Artes Plásticas na Universidade do Porto. A primeira mão segura a matéria, o tocável A segunda mão segura o espírito, o sensível A terceira mão segura a todos nós, é o que todos temos em comum. Segura eu, você e o outro, em uma rede de tafetá, ligados à terceira mão e a todos. Os olhos ligam a percepção do material com o sensível espiritual. Percepção simbólica visual. Olhar para o interior. Ver além do visível. Toque etéreo. Gesto de benção. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This essay aims to reflect, in the form of a memoir, on the experiences related to the work Third Hand, both in its symbolic aspect and materiality. This artistic research is part of the context of my doctorate in Plastic Arts at the University of Porto. The first hand holds matter, the tangible The second hand holds the spirit, the sensitive The third hand holds us all, it's what we have in common. It holds me, you, and the other in a taffeta net, connected to the third hand and everyone. The eyes connect the perception of the material with the sensitive spiritual. Visual symbolic perception. Looking inwards. Seeing beyond the visible. Ethereal touch. A gesture of blessing.

  Vulgarization (2025) author(s): Tolga Theo Yalur published in: Research Catalogue
  “Vulgarization” initially appears as a word of interest in the 19th century. There arises a new adoption mode of holy books, literature and comprehension of vulgarity at this point: an unfinished project even for the philosopher or the scientist who has to coexist partially with fellow humans in the “world”, the vulgus. It is the scientist’s reduction of scientific findings and calculations to address public conscience, which does not necessarily intend to “enlighten societies”.

  In a Place like this (2025) author(s): Johan Sandborg, Duncan Higgins connected to: Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, University of Bergen published in: Research Catalogue
  In A place Like This sets out to investigate and expand the issues and critical discourses within Sandborg and Higgins' current collaborative research practice. The central focus for the research is concerned with how art, in this instance photographic and painted image making and text, can be used as an agent or catalyst of understanding and critical reflection. The research methodology is constructed through photography, painting, drawing and text. This utilises the form of an artist publication as a point of critically engaged dissemination: a place for the tension between conflicting ideas and investigation to be explored through discussion. The research question is focused on how the production of the image and the act of making images can communicate or describe moments of erasure or remembering in terms of historical and personal narratives with direct reference to moments of violence and place. This is seen not in terms of a nostalgic remembrance of the past; instead as one that is rife with complicated layers and dynamics where recognition is denied the ability to locate a physical representation. Embedded in this is an exploration of particular questions concerning the ethics of representation: the depiction of ourselves and other? In this sense it brings into question an examination of the act of remembering as a thing in itself, through the production of the image and text, contexts of knowledge and cultural discourses explored through the form of an artists publication.

  The Opener - sharing the performer’s process (2025) author(s): Einar Røttingen published in: Research Catalogue
  The Opener - sharing the performer’s process was a one-year artistic research pilot project (March 2024 - March 2025) funded by strategic funds at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Music and Design, University of Bergen. It was part of the Grieg Academy Research Group for Performance and Interpretation (GAFFI) together with external members from The Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. The project consisted of 8 sub-projects and educational activities, involving different instruments: piano solo, violin, duos with voice and piano, clarinet, accordion and guitar. The term opener can in this project proposal symbolize a three-fold meaning connected to the music performance field. This project seeks to - see the performer as an opener of musical meaning in a performance (interpretation of musical intentions in scores and improvisation) - challenge ourselves as performers as openers that share his/her artistic work (getting insight into the creative process and methods) - finding openers as tools to reveal and show the creative process of performers (ways of showing the artistic process)
