ARTikulationen interweaves in-depth artistic research presentations, a festival character (intermezzi-performances), and a mini-symposium on the topic of research journeys between artistic and scholarly or scientific practices. Topics range from current acoustic, electroacoustic, and computer composition, historically informed and contemporary performance, to improvisation and theatre.

In this year’s issue of ARTikulationen, there will be ten doctoral research presentations: two Rigorosa (viva voce presentations) by Boris Kuschnir and Márcio Steuernagel, six mid-study presentations by Adela Liculescu, Amog Segal, Daniele Pozzi, Elina Akselrud, Jakob Stillmark and Janhavi Dhamankar, and two first-year examinations by Helēna Sorokina and Raphael Fusco. For the mini-symposium related to this year’s topical frame – Subjective / Intersubjective – we collaborate with the contemporary music festival musikprotokoll in a discussion panel on Whodentity – Self and Other in Artistic Collaborations, and a keynote by composer Juliana Hodkinson. The festival character appears not only through presentations in the form of examples from practice, but also in intermezzi by doctoral candidates Daniele Pozzi, Elina Akselrud, Hugo Vasco Reis, Jakob Stillmark, Janhavi Dhamankar, Lorenzo Orsengio, Samira Spiegel and Zsófia Faragó, who contribute live and filmed performances.

ARTikulationen is conceived and organised by the Doctoral School for Artistic Research (KWDS) of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG). It is co-funded by the State of Styria - Dep. 12 Economy, Tourism, Science and Research. The panel is organised in collaboration with ORF musikprotokoll.
