This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
The publication Paths of artistic research
is a collection of interviews with artistic
researchers - Andrea Buršová, assistant
professor at the Nika Brettschneiderová
Dramatic Acting Department, Faculty of
Drama, JAMU, Jiří Honzírek, director, manager
of the Feste Theatre and PhD student at
the Theatre Faculty, JAMU, Barbora Klímová,
head of the Studio of Environmental Design
at the FFA BUT, Lenka Klodová, head of
the Studio of Body Design at the FFA BUT,
Lucia Repašská, researcher at the Cabinet
for Theatre and Drama Research, Theatre
Faculty, JAMU, Hana Slavíková, head of the
Studio of Radio and Television Dramaturgy
and Scriptwriting, Theatre Faculty, JAMU,
Pavel Sterec, artist and former head of the
Intermedia Studio at the FFA, BUT, and
Lenka Veselá, researcher at the Department
of Theory and History of Art at the FFA, BUT
and PhD student at the FFA, BUT. These
are artists who have been associated with
art colleges in Brno, specifically with the
Faculty of Fine Arts of the BUT and the
Theatre Faculty of the JAMU. Through
interviews with the artists, the reader will
learn under what circumstances they began
to engage in artistic research, how they
perceive it, what meanings they attribute
to it and the purpose it serves for them.
The selected group of artists is very diverse
and their creative and research strategies
are different, as are the purposes for which
they use artistic research. The publication
does not aim to provide an exhaustive
overview of the methods used in artistic
research, but it does aim to show that there
are many approaches to artistic research
and to present the paths that have brought
particular artists to artistic research.
