Intellectual Birdhouse. Artistic Practice as Research

Abstract

Artistic practices are manifold and highly diverse. In recent years, a claim towards research has become meaningful to many practitioners of art. Intellectual Birdhouse gives room to a number of acteurs to unfold their attitudes towards this claim. In this book, ‘artistic research’ is assumed as being independent of ‘discipline’, with the potential to occur in all contexts once epistemological expectations have shifted. This approach foregrounds questions concerning the type of models, terms and concepts that elucidate the processes and outcomes of epistemic-artistic practices while recalling theoretical debates steeped in tradition. Edited and with a foreword by Florian Dumbois, Ute Meta Bauer, Claudia Mareis, and Michael Schwab. Ute Meta Bauer is an associate professor and head of the Program in Art, Culture and Technology at MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning. Florian Dombois is an artist who has focused on landforms, labilities, seismic and tectonic activity, scientific and technical fictions. He is a prifessor at Zurich University of the Arts. Claudia Mareis is a designer and cultural scientist. She holds a position at eikones, The National Centre of Competence in Research of Iconic Criticism at the University of Basel.
