Research Catalogue

an international database for artistic research

About this portal
Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) was established in 2014 and have about 500 students and 250 employees. With our unique composition of education and artistic research, we want to create new opportunities for societal development and knowledge of tomorrow.

On 1 June 2016 SKH was authorised to award artistic third-cycle degrees in artistic practices. Exposition is an integrated part of artistic work at SKH. Each research project must present (stage, narrate, sing, choreograph and so on) its results in a way that is both rigorous and consistent. This requires research to be critically reviewed by peers in a combination of different exposition formats. By developing different formats in which peer review can be carried out, research within the area also addresses the challenges that arise when research is formulated and presented in forms that communicate through an artistically performed experience and thereby contribute to pushing the boundaries that existing forms of publication and dissemination of research set for the ambitions of artistic research.

Stockholm University of the Arts enables its researchers, PhD Candidates and staff to present their projects and findings on SKH’s RC portal in order to publish, archive, and internationally connect their artistic research.

SKH organizes private lessons and workshops aimed at our students, researchers, and employees. For bookings, please contact: heidi.paateremoller@uniarts.se.

  Practicing art - as a habit? / Att utöva konst - som en vana? (2017) author(s): Annette Arlander connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
  This bilingual exposition (English and Swedish) presents and problematizes the relationship between artistic practice and habit, describing two projects that deal with repetition and place. The projects 'Solsidan' and 'Summer at Söder' were undertaken during the years 2015-2016 in Stockholm. The idea of repetition and returning to the same site were crucial, as in much of my previous works. Unlike them, neither of these two projects involved performances for camera; in both the actual practice consisted of video recording the view. The shift in emphasis from an artistic practice aiming to produce an artwork, into an activity undertaken mainly as an exercise, an activity, could be seen as a strand in the general trend in contemporary art since the 1960s and accentuated in this century towards valuing the 'working' of art above the work of art as an object. This trend can also be related to research and linked to the preference for various terms like practice as research, performance as research, creative arts research or, indeed, artistic research. - This exposition combines a description of the actual practice, with an encounter with the material generated through that practice and proposes that these works can exemplify artistic research as a speculative practice.

  Working With a Witches’ Broom / Att Arbeta med en Markvast (2015) author(s): Annette Arlander connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) published in: RUUKKU - Studies in Artistic Research
  This exposition explores the specific materiality that a Witches’ Broom offers for performance-based artworks, referring to ideas on plant-thinking by Michael Marder (2013) and on vibrant matter by Jane Bennett (2010). A witches’ broom, Taphrina betulina, is a fungus that afflicts certain birch trees and causes outgrowths of small twigs. With such a bunch of sticks I performed for camera and live on several occasions during the years 2006-2008 creating variations with only a few elements. Working with various materials – organic matter, digital moving images and recorded speech – and the various combinations of them, including the versions discarded during the process, provides a starting point for looking at the small transformations that produce difference and for proposing variation as one of the basic methods for artistic research.

  Elsa - New Reactive Earth (last edited: 2024) author(s): Lina Persson connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  This is a snapshot of the Storyworld New Reactive Earth, from March 2024. This worldbuilding began in 2011 when a collaboration with Prof. Ronald Mallett evoked in me how his time travel theory could enable future generations to confront how the present depletes the Earth. This made the conflict tangible and resistance possible, prompting me to continue developing this concept through methods of CO2 limitations and collective sharing in collaborations and interventions. Experimentation with limiting bodily access to energy and resources helped embody the storyworld's speculative premises. Slowing down breath, heart rate, and metabolism achieved an altered state that attuned me further to the relations and how I am entangled in my environment. Through iterative interplay, this speculative 'introverse' and my everyday environments have shaped each other. With the included prompt cards I invite you to join this shaping, to extend this interplay to your own environment. This Storyworld is neither a utopia nor a dystopia but a transtopia—a place to go through in order to get beyond current realities, get a glimpse of what else could be.

  Animated Ecology (last edited: 2023) author(s): Lina Persson connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  In these works I have explored how I can relate to my environment through my daily practices of teaching, eating, animating etc. I begun the project by improvising lectures for various audiences I wanted to have input from. I have lectured to all possible enteties in the ecosystem I am a part of, from blueberries to colleagues to films. Every time something new continues to take shape. The exposition include essays, paintings and animations.

  Ju mer dom spottar på mig desto snabbare kommer jag blomma (UNDER CONSTRUCTION) (last edited: 2021) author(s): Tinna Joné connected to: Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
  WORK IN PROGRESS The project aims to develop participation-based and non-linear forms of documentary storytelling in relation to specific sites: Southern and Northern Botkyrka . The research that will be conducted over three years will include field work, discursive studies of film and theory, process-based practical work, experiments, exhibitions, workshops and seminars. The exposition is part of SCREENING, Stockholm University of the Arts’ Film and Media platform for ongoing artistic research.
