"To Phd or not to Phd ? : How to improve research based art
practice"
Like scientists, artists are engaged in research activities.
However research is carried out in different ways when
comparing artists to scientists. During the last 20 years, a
number of academic institutions have created PhDs in Art as
well as a Practice Based Research Degrees. For a thorough
report on this question, please refer to the one written by
Professor Stuart Lain, University of Brighton
(http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/research/euindia/knowledgebase/brightonpg/laing.htm
).
We would like to invite Yasminers to discuss the broader
question of how research education in art should be designed
today.
