Research Bulletin No. 2

Editor: Geir Strøm, head of administration NARP

Introduction to Bulletin no. 2

This bulletins of Norwegian Artistic Research Programme (NARP) is a service to disseminate ongoing and published work by the research staff and fellows funded or otherwise supported by the programme. The editor is the adminstrative leader at the programme and there is thus no review being performed on the work presented. The aim for the bulletin is to make visible artistic research which is published or shared publicly. We consider the first issues as a pilot for further development and invite you to comment, either through the Research Catalogue (RC) or directly to the editor, on how you experience the bulletin.

 

This issue presents work by research fellows sharing works in progress as well as works published since our previous bulletin

Furthermore, we direct you to published expositions that were made from artistic research work funded by NARP's project programme. 

 

This issue refers exclusively to work made on the RC platform. We have covered all shared or published work connected to NARP-fundings.
