At the ARTikulationen 2018, ten doctoral students presented their research projects in the Florentinersaal, MUMUTH Proberaum and the Orangerie im Burggarten from October 4 – 6.: one rigorosum/doctoral defense by Joel Diegert, plus nine presentations from doctoral students from KUG/ZHdK, the Orpheus Institute Ghent and Malmö Academy of Music: Florian Bogner, Roxanne Dykstra, Artemi Gioti, Lula Romero, Emiliano Sampaio, Halla Steinunn Stefansdottir (Malmö Academy of Music), Raimund Vogtenhuber, Anne Veinberg (Orpheus Institute), and Karin Wetzel.
Next to the presentations of the doctoral students, there was also an overarching topic for discussion this year: Experimenting Musically. The topic was addressed in two keynotes and discussed in three panels, and for the first time, we now had two ARTikulationen-sessions in collaboration with the Graz contemporary music festival musikprotokoll (called musikprotokoll@ARTikulationen): Chaya Czernowin’s keynote (adjacent to the musikprotokoll performance of her Knights of the strange) and a discussion on experimenting musically with Fred Frith and others. And, continuing last year’s alumni-presentations, alumna Dr.art Dorothea Seel — who had recently joined the KWDS-team as Senior Scientist — presented her latest work and her book which a few days pior had been accepted for publication.
