Theorien der Praxis - vor und nach Artistic Research

“Artistic research” refers to artistic research practices as well as their increasing anchorage in institutions, e.g., in doctoral programs. This book is the first to examine the development of the field alongside key transformation processes in the arts – from critical impulses since the 1970s to the establishing of artistic research as an independent discourse. The focus is on artistic research as a theory of practice: as a way of thinking emerging from artistic activity, together with its preliminary stages, consolidation, and points of failure. A well-founded contribution to current discussions at the interface of art, research, and knowledge production. Fundamental study on the history and contemporary relevance of artistic researchExamines for the first time the historical and social contexts of the prehistory of artistic research
