After an omnipresent Research Decade, the concept of artistic re-search currently seems to be in need of a recharge. Pressing ques-tions are: Should we talk about a postresearch situation or a postre-search condition? Could this be compared with how poststructuralism relates to structuralism as its philosophical comprehension and the elaboration of its consequences? And how could a postresearch con-dition address contemporary art practices?
To answer these questions, an intensive program of workshops, presentations, propositions, and screenings took place as EARN/Smart Culture Conference in Utrecht in the spring of 2021.
This publication reflects further on discussions and debates, while providing programmatic elements for a future artistic research agenda.
