The Artistic Research Research Group (ARRG) asks how artistic approaches, practices and methodologies might tackle diverse research questions. The group aims to promote the exchange of ideas between artists and scholars from a wide range of fields and disciplines. ARRG enables researchers/makers from the fine arts, design, dance, film, performance art, theatre and music to share and compare processes of production, methodologies and results with the academic community, while working as practicing artists. Simultaneously, the research group allows artists to delve deeper into the academic disciplines their work is already concerned with. Bringing together academia and the art world, artistic forms of research challenge institutionalized forms of knowledge production, and centre non-normative research practices
ARRG is organized around seminars that promote the exchange of ideas and experiences among artistic researchers and those interested in the field. During the seminars members of the group will present their research and receive feedback from their peers. One or two artistic researchers are typically invited to share their process with the participants of the seminars. The participants include practicing artists, Artistic Research PhD candidates, and those who have completed their PhDs and would like to keep discussing their artistic research within a community of like-minded artists/scholars. Those interested in potentially pursuing academic study are also welcome to join, including Research Master students who wish to attain first-hand knowledge about Artistic Research methods and approaches.
The sessions usually take place on Fridays between 13:00 and 16:00. You can find the programme of our next sessions and some general information about ARRG below. This year, Alicky Chisholm and Julia Stoll will be assisting Colin Sterling with the organization of ARRG. To receive information about registration and credits, do not hesitate to contact them. To receive a reminder three weeks before sessions, together with the materials provided by the participants, register via Alicky and Julia on ARRG’s mailing list.
The programme will take place in Vox-Pop (University of Amsterdam, Binnengasthuisstraat 9, Amsterdam), on Fridays from 13:00 to 16:00.
Exact dates to be announced through email and social media channels.

Artistic Research allows artists to delve deeper into academic disciplines and bring their work to the attention of academic researchers and broader publics. By bringing academia and the art world together, artistic research changes the social status of both and introduces a potential array of practice-oriented methodologies that challenge institutionalized forms of knowledge production.
