  PER-FORM - the performative essay and the essayistic performance (2017) author(s): Emily Huurdeman published in: Research Catalogue
  Everyone knows what an essay is, or at least everyone think they know what an essay is. But try to define it and you’re most likely at a loss, because the essay is notoriously difficult to define. It balances between the artistic and the scientific, the experiential and the intellectual, it is labeled as an undefinable non-genre. The essay is experimental and doesn’t fit neatly in pre-defined boxes of genres, just like performance. Among other things they share a process oriented atitude and are inherently authorial. Having many characteristics in common, I wondered: can performance be essayistic? This research investigates the essay and its connection to performance theoretically, and investigates the essayistic performance artistically. I have chosen the workspace of the Research Catalogue to present my research in. This enables spatial freedom of form and content and can accomodate both the textual and artistic side of the research equally in the same space.

• ESSAYING ART - RESEARCH (in progress) (last edited: 2018) author(s): Emily Huurdeman This exposition is in progress.
  In the relatively new field of Artistic Research, science and art are combined. But, what methods can the artistic researcher use? How can we combine a scientific and artistic working method? I would like to investigate if and how essayistic science could be used un-methodological method in the field of art and Artistic Research. The essay is aimed at combining the scientific and the artistic. It follows a train of thought, and reflects on those thoughts. The essay as an approach can be applied to multiple artistic mediums; video-essay; photo-essay; and in my ReMA thesis Artistic Research at the UvA, I investigate the essayistic performance. I would like to investigate how the essayistic attempt and the essayistic experiment could function as an artistic methodology.
