Art Research// Refl/acting on Arts

A conference on Art research. What do we mean by that? And how do we position it? What place does art research occupy in relation to academic research and practice-based research? What are the outcomes of art research?

A reflection on these questions from four perspectives:
· Artistic Research
· Design Research
· Art Educational Research
· Embodiment in Research

Organising partners: ArtEZ University of the Arts – ArtEZ Graduate School, Professorship Product & Interior Design, Professorship Theory in the Arts, Professorship Education in Arts and Culture, Professorship i.f. Theatre and Dance and ArtEZ studium generale.
