In this seminar, you will learn more about and reflect on sharing and documentation in artistic research, with an emphasis on the diversity of methods within the field. Based on the PhD students’ projects, different site- and time-specific and permanent formats for presentation and documentation are discussed, as well as how they influence work methods, artistic results, and reflections.

What to prepare?
- Read:
a) The mandatory reading for Module 2 (Arlander. A (2014), Bärtås, M. (2010), Hübner, F. (2020)).
b) The On methods page and the On sharing page (to be published)
c) Make yourself familiar with the work of the fellows in your group (the groups will be annonced before the seminar).
In additon, you should reflect on how you work as an artist and how those methods could be articulated and used as research methods. Be prepared to discuss this with the others. - Hand in (to be confirmed):
Create a plan (in English) with two parts, one for sharing and the other for documenting your process. The plan can be based on your current practice or it can be a speculative plan, for an ideal situation, a future development. Consider the customary strategies within your field, and whether you want to change them in some manner. Use no more than approximately one A4 for each part (500 words). If your plan is longer, share only a summary of it. You can include links to websites with images, sounds, etc. Please take care, however, that the main plan is understandable without them. The plan must consist of two parts:
a) Plan for sharing your artistic research process: Draft a strategy for sharing your process, rather than the final results. Which parts of your work do you want to share with others, with whom, when and where, how often, in what media, for what purpose? What are your most important research methods, and how do your methods influence the potential of sharing outcomes along the way? (Add questions as needed).
b) Plan for documenting your artistic research process: Draft a strategy for documenting and recording your process, rather than the final results. Which parts of your work do you want to document and keep a record of, with what media or tools, when and how detailed, to be shared or private, for what purpose? (Add questions as needed).
Please submit the plan to pku@hkdir.no no later than two weeks before the seminar.
- Bring (to be confiremd):
a) Please be prepared to present your plans for documenting and sharing your work in a small group. We form the groups based on your assignments. The presentation should take no longer than 10 minutes. You need to bring own Mac or PC if you are planning a screen based presentation. All rooms offers projectors and speakers.
b) Choose one quote from the mandatory readings for module 2, and bring a piece of paper with the quote written or printed on. In the seminar, you should breifly present why you did chose this spesific quote.
