About this portal
Uniarts was established in 2014 and have about 500 students and 250 employees. With our unique composition of education and artistic research, we want to create new opportunities for societal development and knowledge of tomorrow. On 1 June 2016 Uniarts was authorised to award artistic third-cycle degrees in artistic practices. Exposition is an integrated part of artistic work at Uniarts. Each research project must present (stage, narrate, sing, choreograph and so on) its results in a way that is both rigorous and consistent. This requires research to be critically reviewed by peers in a combination of different exposition formats. By developing different formats in which peer review can be carried out, research within the area also addresses the challenges that arise when research is formulated and presented in forms that communicate through an artistically performed experience, and thereby contributes to pushing the boundaries that existing forms of publication and dissemination of research set for the ambitions of artistic research. Stockholm University of the Arts enables its researchers, PhD Candidates and staff to present their projects and findings on Uniarts’ RC portal in order to publish, archive, and internationally connect their artistic research. Uniarts’ RC portal is in development at present.

  Working With a Witches’ Broom / Att Arbeta med en Markvast (2014) author(s): Annette Arlander connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts published in: Ruukku
  This exposition explores the specific materiality that a Witches’ Broom offers for performance-based artworks, referring to ideas on plant-thinking by Michael Marder (2013) and on vibrant matter by Jane Bennett (2010). A witches’ broom, Taphrina betulina, is a fungus that afflicts certain birch trees and causes outgrowths of small twigs. With such a bunch of sticks I performed for camera and live on several occasions during the years 2006-2008 creating variations with only a few elements. Working with various materials – organic matter, digital moving images and recorded speech – and the various combinations of them, including the versions discarded during the process, provides a starting point for looking at the small transformations that produce difference and for proposing variation as one of the basic methods for artistic research.
