Do Ideas Contaminate the Art Experience?
(2014)
author(s): Christopher Hollins
published in: Research Catalogue
This essay questions whether-or-not artists always destroyed the art experience by imposing learned understanding over what they do. I am considering the idea that art history has led us to believe that established work practices allowed artists to create an experience we call art, when, with hindsight, we can now see that they actually work to suppress the sensation. My premise here is that any Research Based Artistic Practice would have to be set up to describe art as a sensation that only enters our thoughts when we find ourselves at a loss to understand what confronts us.
Approaching the Essay as Artistic Research
(2014)
author(s): Corina Caduff
published in: Research Catalogue
Up to now the essay has rarely been mentioned in the context of the discourse of artistic research. But, in fact, the essay as well as the discourse about it is shaped by a number of topoi which are very similar to the ones that are prevalent in discussions about artistic research: The essay combines modes of narrative and reflection, it occupies a contentious space in between academia and artistic practice, and its definition proves to be a constant point of controversy among its practitioners. The contribution can be understood as a plea for the reader to appreciate the essay as a method of artistic research.
