• From social connectedness to functioning democracy? A discussion of relation qualities effectuated by relational art [Copy finished article - 2025-06-09 16:13] (2025) author(s): Felix Erdmann Limited publication. Only visible to members of the portal : Fontys Academy of the Arts

Positioned in the discourse revolving around relational and agonistic aesthetics as well the discourse around social capital (Putnam) and resonance theory (Rosa), it presents artistic strategies responding to the respective schools of thought.

  Running as Connective Practice? (2024) author(s): Falk Hubner, Heleen de Hoon published in: Fontys Academy of the Arts
  In this exposition, Falk Hübner and Heleen de Hoon share the process and reflections of their collaborative research project "Running Tilburg". In this project, Falk aimed to connect to an urban surrounding by means of long distance running. In September 2021, Falk Hübner started his work as professor of Artistic Connective Practices at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Together with dramaturge Heleen de Hoon, he decided to get to know and connect to the city and the new surroundings by running it, and explore running as a connective practice - literally through spending time with feet on the ground. Heleen and Falk asked a group of colleagues, all living in the city, to share places to run by, and related stories to these places. Guided by these stories Falk and Heleen created a map and a script for a 53K run, documented by video, photos and field notes. Rather than presenting conclusive findings and final reflections, the purpose of this exposition is to share the documentation of the process and the experience. Thus, we understand the project and this exposition quite literally as a first step to lead to potentially next and new steps.

  Artistic Connectivity Unfolding (2024) author(s): Falk Hubner, walmeri ribeiro, Elisavet Kalpaxi, Marike Hoekstra, Eleni Kolliopoulou, Jessica Renfro, Isil Egrikavuk, Reyhaneh Mirjahani, Katy Beinart, Lizzie Lloyd, Chrystalleni Loizidou, Xenia Tsompanidou, Juriaan Achthoven connected to: Fontys Academy of the Arts published in: Research Catalogue
  This publication presents the outcomes of the Connective Symposium, which took place at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, in November 2022. The symposium was the first time that the professorship and research group Artistic Connective Practices, initiated in 2021, opened its work to the international field: We invited practitioners from all over the world to share their work and exchange about the concept of "artistic connectivity". "Artistic Connectivity Unfolding" is an attempt to share the experiences during the symposium with the broader artistic research audience, and to contribute to the body of artistic research work that is socially engaged. The exposition is potentially many things: In part, it is a piece of documentation of the symposium, in part reflections on and proceedings of it. It is also an explorative contribution to our emerging and unfolding discourse of artistic connectivity, — unfinished, fluid and moving — and thus a springboard for our future work on artistic connectivity.
