The debate on artistic research emerging worldwide in the field of visual art for some five years focuses on what artistic research could be or should be. The exhibition Nameless Science aims to expand this debate by showing the outcome of artistic research in seven examples of best practices from artistic PhD projects. A striking similar methodology in the practice of artistic research is the problemization of specific situation-based artistic processes interconnecting with various knowledge systems and disciplines.
At the same time, these PhD projects deal with an artistic reinterpretation of both representation (al) models and academic classification systems. Consequently, the projects do not only produce fluent forms of interconnectivity and methodology through different forms of knowledge production, but lead to novel artistic strategies and intensities of perception.
Do artistic research projects demand an idiosyncratic form of presentation? Using an inventive form of display, the curator will investigate this question and exchange thoughts and ideas with the participating artists through a presentation system balancing between an exhibition and an info-lab.
