  Ecorchées (2018) author(s): Lisa Salamandra published in: Research Catalogue
  A theoretical linking of my "Raw Women", female figures from the series "Raw Meat" which feature a skinned, cut-up, recomposed body, with the "living dead" figure portrayed in the anatomical charts of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries. I examine how our two images seek the representation of "truths" concerning the human body and its functionning as well as a common truth about the fate of the human flesh, and that of our human condition.

  Format Exhibition - Schallwirkungen auf Mensch und Tier (2018) author(s): ingrid cogne, Tobias Pilz published in: Research Catalogue
  In early 2015, the art-based research project Six Formats gathered a group of artists, curators, and researchers 1) to co-think about an Exhibition as well as 2) to articulate this particular format of communication as knowledge. In Six Formats, formats of communication are the central knowledge. Format, content, and context are in relations. The format Exhibition was placed at Kunsthalle Exnergasse. In order to be in line with the aim of KEX to serve artists, the research process was intended to work with the exhibition space. The research group decided to improve the acoustic qualities of the room - for talks, screenings, and performances - and to intervene in the space without interfering with an artist’s needs. This decision led to reflections on visibility and subtleness.   Six Formats investigated “exposition” - proposed by Research Catalogue - as a format of communication. For Cogne and Pilz, the format exposition could be explored as “one” space (one room, one poster, one painting). Six Formats invites the visitor/reader to circulate between fiction and reality and to let their activated thoughts navigate without searching for any truth. The exposition 'Format Exhibition - Schallwirkungen auf Mensch und Tier' proposes a double entry. The visitor can visit it as they would enter the physical space of the Exhibition Schallwirkungen auf Mensch und Tier at KEX: 1) little by little, randomly, maybe not noticing all the elements placed in the exhibition space; 2) glancing through the space or directly diving into the reading of the exhibition booklet that the research group treated as a fictional space. The visitor can also directly access the process the group had - written in black on a white background. They will meet a quite linear writing that Cogne and Pilz exposed in a nonlinear way. Six Formats (FWF, PEEK, AR291-G21) takes every opportunity to challenge formats of communication and explore ways in which art-based-related knowledge can be presented and articulated as well as activating and circulating.

  Performative Symposium for Ecological Spectatorship (2018) author(s): Juriaan Achthoven, Rhian Morris published in: Research Catalogue
  This page consists of the program of the Performative Symposium for Ecological Spectatorship, that took place on the 16th of October in Het Huis Utrecht. *** The symposium is organised by Gaia’s Machine: an upcoming artistic research collective exploring the intersection between art, technology and nature. Aims for the symposium are: - Exchange knowledge between arts and sciences leading to a cross-fertilization of ideas and practices related to ecological spectatorship - Reflect on our positioning as young artists & scientists at a time of ecological crisis - Open a space for a young generation to question our responsibility and to explore potential methods of moving forward The term ecological spectatorship draws awareness towards humanity’s entanglement within an ecological web. We approach ‘ecology’ from an ethical perspective, addressing the responsibility we have as a human species in relation to the earth (our oikos). Furthermore, we focus on ‘spectatorship’ – a branch within theatre studies that is concerned with the relation between makers and performers and the audience. We emphatically include the spectator in the performative space. Ecological spectatorship expresses a concern that in our view is not only relevant for theatre makers but also for politically engaged scientists. In the symposium we will not only take the placement of the spectator into account but we will allow the spectator to become actively engaged in making sense of ecological spectatorship. We are keen to create ample space for the audience to reflect on their experience and to open an exchange of knowledge between both objective and embodied knowledge, and between the collaborators as well as the audience. We will be researching the proposition of ecological spectatorship through the form of a performative symposium – a play on the traditional form of the symposium by making it both artistic and participatory.

  HISTORY NOTEBOOK (2018) author(s): Patti Fraser, Flick Harrison published in: Research Catalogue
  The question: whom do you walk with? Was put to me as a way to reflect on the history of my practice as a community engaged artist over the last part of the twentieth century living on the west coast of Canada. This interactive research space is an attempt to respond to an alternative notion of history and the influences on this art form over the course of thirty years. It also seeks to acknowledge the communities of people this art practice allied itself with. These people and their communities often lived outside and beyond the margins of the national narrative of history and its parade. It is my hope this site offers a pedagogical space that invites students, researchers, educators, artists, and others to consider the questions that populate and characterize socially engaged arts practice and arts based research. The author’s reflections and writings captured at the roots of this reflection range from videos, poetic inquiry, reports, and scholarly essays on the nature of my experience of working in this field.
