Through interviews with the artists, the reader will learn under what circumstances they began to engage in artistic research, how they perceive it, what meanings they attribute to it and the purpose it serves for them. The selected group of artists is very diverse and their creative and research strategies are different, as are the purposes for which they use artistic research. The publication does not aim to provide an exhaustive overview of the methods used in artistic research, but it does aim to show that there are many approaches to artistic research and to present the paths that have brought particular artists to artistic research.

Om prosjektet Jording med (blå)leire (2025) Sigrid Espelien
I doktorgradsprosjektet Jording med (blå)leire har jeg jobba med kunstneriske prosesser og øvelser som knytter oss tettere på blåleira i landskapet. Gjennom seks års utdannelse innenfor det keramiske kunstfeltet og kunsthåndverk2 ble vi aldri introdusert for leire ute i naturen som en del av undervisningen. Vi lærte å lage forskjellige leirer ved hjelp av råstoffer som kaolin, kvarts, pipeleire og chamotte fra innkjøpt pulver i sekker blandet med vann, men var aldri ute og gravde leire og prosesserte denne selv. Vi jobbet med importerte leirer der sintringsintervall, grovhetsgrad, farge etter brenning og krymp-prosent var printet på plastpakningen. Leirene var homogene og klare til å modellere med, og man kunne stole på at den alltid var lik fra pakke til pakke. Keramikk- og kunstfeltets gjengse oppfattelse av leire som et stabilt universelt materiale, som er relativt lik uansett hvor man kjøper den fra, blir i dette prosjektet satt i kontrast til det spesifikke og skiftende i landskapet, leira og menneskene involvert. Denne situerte kunnskapsproduksjonen i det kunstneriske doktorgradsprosjektet er et av de potensielle bidragene til fagfeltet.
