Research through practices from the artistic field

Artistic research is a broad and varied area of knowledge, with its foundation in the explorative and experience-based practices developed within the artistic field.

Artistic research provides knowledge about and develops complex creative processes; it tests and further develops methods, theoretical concepts and materialities; it examines and deepens the understanding of art's field-specific opportunities and challenges, as well as how art, often in collaboration with other disciplines, contributes to an increased knowledge of the major societal issues.
