Artistic practices are rapidly changing, reflecting the complexity of information and a growing diversity of modes of expression. At the same time, the notion of knowledge itself has been revised, including modes of thought that have been repressed in the past. Moving beyond the separation between "artistic practice" and "academic research," artistic research creatively merges new modes of making art and new ways of thinking.
In face of the growing global community of artist researchers, Rowman & Littlefield International launched a fully dedicated book series on Artistic Research, directed by Paulo de Assis and Lucia D'Errico. This is a NEW CHANNEL for the dissemination of YOUR WORK.
The series welcomes proposals for monographs and edited collections, which pioneer new practices and methodologies, exposing challenging outputs of artistic research.
