Falk Hübner’s lectorate and expertise is relevant for this proposal. He has a
background as composer, theatre maker, researcher and educator. He is active
in a huge diversity of collaborations within and outside of the arts. His
research focuses on the social-societal potential of artistic research, research
methodologies, and the relation of the arts and art education in relation to
society. Artistic Connective Practices aims to provide a perspective on
complex issues through a number of core values, such as connecting through
spending time together, rooted in agreed common ground, mutual respect and
endless curiosity; affinity, integrity and kinship. With non-hierarchical and
emergent forms of collaboration in an inclusive and diverse context as point of
departure, these core values will be developed into research questions and
concrete artistic research projects in the future of the lectorate.

With Robin I have had great meetings on the artistic research practice and the research in relation to education and non-human actors. There is an understanding of the practice on o very conceptual and natural manner, The associations and suggestions really make visible underlying layers fo the artistic research practice. It also makes me think sharper about the collective aspect. |
