1st Conference on Arts-Based and Artistic Research

 

This conference on arts-based and artistic research hosted by the Postgraduate Program in Arts and Education, at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona, is the result of a growing interest in the relationship between artistic research and practice. By organizing this conference, our aim is to share and debate emergent fractures in the field.
Undeniably, in recent years the art world has taken seriously the question regarding what type of contribution

art practice can make in the wider research community. On one hand, the growth in the number of PhD practice-based programs is a concrete example of how how art and research have converged within an academic context.More broadly, certain tendencies in the art world reveal an increased interest in assigning a social value to art production. The focus on knowledge production in artistic practices blurs the lines between art and research.
