thinking aesthetic thinking through aesthetic research practices is an artistic research project by Alex Arteaga, Emma Cocker, Nicole Wendel (with Sabine Zahn during the first phase), focused on the ways in which aesthetic research practices realise a specific form of thinking: aesthetic thinking. Since 2021, we have been working together intensively within a series of exploratory online sessions, investigating the concept, performance and conditions of and for thinking aesthetically through specific aesthetic research practices in different media (drawing, video, sound, language, body movement, material encounters, spatial configurations).
This exposition shares the research process of this collaborative project, thinking aesthetic thinking through aesthetic research practices, tracing its key phases between June 2020 - October 2022 and the gradual evolution of an original research dispositive or apparatus which we call Ecologies in Action.
