Dear Colleagues,
Conference Announcement
Arts Research: The State of Play 2008
Dublin, Ireland, Thursday 8th and Friday 9th May 2008
at the Project Arts Centre in Temple Bar.
Much of the discussion of research and arts practices has tended toward a
debate about essence and epistemology. But what are people actually doing?
Where are the excitement and engagement of artists, musicians, designers,
architects, performers, curators being actualized and demonstrated? What is
the state of play among arts researchers?
Proposals are invited from interested contributors. Please email outline
proposal and CV to [log in to unmask] by Monday February 11th. We
especially welcome presentations by PhD researchers and supervisors;
recently completed PhD researchers; and arts research programme designers
and policy developers across a wide range of craetive practices: art,
design, performing arts, architecture, music,....

This conference seeks to review the state of play in arts research by
looking at concrete examples of work-in-progress and work-completed. It
seeks to examine the fit between actual practice and policy. It further
seeks to establish the points at which the debate has moved forward in the
last five years.

The conference will also provide an opportunity to respond to emergent
guidelines in respect of doctoral research in and through the arts. The goal
is to use concrete case-studies of arts research to inform a wider debate
that can progress beyond the first hurdles of epistemic anxiety.

The Graduate School of Creative Arts & Media (www.gradcam.ie)and the HETAC
Working Group on Practice Based Research (www.hetac.ie) are pleased to
announce this major international conference which examines practice-based
doctoral research across - performing arts, visual arts, design,
architecture and media - drawing on case-study examples to help frame key
issues and questions in both policy and practice. This conference seeks to
differentiate itself from previous initiatives in this area by focussing on
a case-study approach to actually existing research practices. The
conference will also provide an opportunity to consider the interim report
of the working group on practice-based research which will be formally
launched during the conference.
