Our experiences have, in ways that still are not transparent to us, made the transition towards achieving the right skills for producing orthodox academic texts more complicated and hurtful than we could imagine. The desired language, the academic, is a language created to represent reality in transparent ways; you are expected to be able to present the world as a series of findings. Our writing and drawing as creations are counter to this reduction. \u0000The text and the drawings attempt to demonstrate and discuss the possibilities of engaging in writing and drawing as production on its own terms and stop regarding them as activities that mirror what already is. Instead, we aim to experiment and thus maybe create something that was not already there, something new, something that might be missing.","PeriodicalId":329360,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Art and Research","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123882140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, it remains a challenging research subject that is interpreted differently by various scientists, designers and artists. This paper presents an attempt to investigate the relationship between artistic research and artistic practice, and the role of artistic research in artists’ books. It aims to present a brief history of artists’ books and show how various artists have captured the complex creative and artistic processes, results or stories behind the works of art.\u0000The article also discusses the problem and potential of representation in artists´ books and examines them as an effective mechanism for disseminating findings of artistic research. To present the multifaceted action behind a work of art implies challenges. The author’s own attempt to capture knowledge from artistic research was challenged while working on a book project and will be part of the discussion. Finally, the study will illustrate how artists’ books contribute to the process of capturing reflections of artistic research and make the manifestations accessible to people outside of the formal context of the lecture halls.\u0000Cover image: Newton, by William Blake (1795).

{"title":"Choreographic Principles in 'Affective Choreographies'","authors":"I. Fiksdal","doi":"10.7577/information.5063","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7577/information.5063","url":null,"abstract":"This article is based on my PhD project in artistic research, Affective Choreographies (2019), and the aim is to share this with focus on central research themes, research questions and choreographic principles developed within the practise. I will lay out two directions within affect theory; Brian Massumi’s theory of affect and Silvan Tomkins’ psychobiology of differential affects. The central research questions is “How can particular choreographic principles employed in the performances create potentiality for affect to occur amongst the audience?” Two perspectives are important to how these questions were approached; the audience as receivers of the performances where the questions were put into practise, and the idea of potentiality as something which can and cannot be actualized. The six performances created during the research period all took shape as what I have called choreography as assemblage. The choreographic assemblages contain both human and non-human movement which carry the potential for kinaesthetic transference.\u0000Situated in choreographic assemblages and using kinaesthetic transference as a tool, three main choreographic principles were developed and employed through my research: minimal composition: slowness and repetition, multi-referencing and performer as matter. A particular focus is the affective potentiality within each choreographic principle and how these principles operate both within the realm of Massumian affect as well as within Tomkins School affect. This implies a blurring of the division between the two or working them simultaneously, something which might be a theoretical impossibility but still, I claim, possible in practise.\u0000Cover image from Ingri Fiksdal's work Shadows of Tomorrow.

{"title":"Enabling Knowledge: The Art of Nurturing Unknown Spaces","authors":"Cristina Archetti, Camilla Eeg-Tverbakk","doi":"10.7577/information.5053","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7577/information.5053","url":null,"abstract":"This article is both an exploration and a reflection on the process of generating knowledge from an encounter with the unknown. It documents what practising the ‘ethics of the unknown’ (Eeg-Tverbakk 2016) consisted of and what insights it led to in relation to two projects: ‘Childism’ (2015), based on documents from an informant who experienced child abuse, and ‘Embodied’ (2018), a performance lecture presenting both research and lived experience of involuntary childlessness. To reflect the fluidity, multi-directionality and, at points, messiness- of the process of practising the ethics of the unknown, theory and practice are not as rigidly separated in the text as the conventions of academic publication would normally require. The text alternates analysis, the voices of the authors, as well as sound files and images designed to offer experiential glimpses into the performances and the arguments. Theoretically, the concepts outlined are inspired by quite different strands of materialist thinking (object-oriented philosophy and new materialism). The research takes liberties when relating to different philosophical concepts that have proven to be useful in the practice of staging documentary material. We are not proposing a ‘method’ but rather arguing along with Erin Manning for ‘research creation’, where methods have to be invented and developed for each project. As such, this article also places itself within the discussions on post-qualitative, non-representational and performative research.","PeriodicalId":329360,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Art and Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134415894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the consequences that followed in the wake of Covid-19, the inquiries took an unexpected turn: Digital platforms, isolation and separate borders, became key focal points for the implementation of the project. Using a /r/tography as a methodological frame (Roussel, Cutcher, Cook & Irwin, 2018; Triggs, Irwin & Leggo, 2014; Irwin, 2013), the authors explore how everyday events characterized by affect (Massumi, 2015) and intimacy (Morton, 2018) can form the basis for bodily and sensory approaches to ecological and social sustainability. The empirical material of the study is generated in connection with the authors' implementation of three “propositions”: preparation of a joint meal, joint contact\u0000with nature, and running as a joint ritual. The focus was on sensory interaction with each other and with more-than-human actors, including beets, landscapes, bodily routines and not least the digital media. In the concluding part the article analyzes and discusses how the work with the the a/r/tographic propositions led to experiences of risk, loss of control, uncomfortability and vulnerability among the participants, and how these experiences can be related to sensuous experiences in connection to the necessary transition to a more sustainable lifestyle, e.g. experiences of insecurity and loss. Finally the authors propose the areas of attention for future work with sensuous sustainability education in arts teacher education: propositions a a didactic tool, ecological awareness, and sustainability as a sesnsuous form of relating to the world.","PeriodicalId":329360,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Art and Research","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122102663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors’ common ground lies in an interest in artistic encounters between people where art and academia bring new discoveries on both the personal and the professional level. The core of this article is the lecture performance in which the authors explore boundaries of the personal, academia and art. By using artistic, art-based, and scientific approaches, they explore how established positions in art and academia can blend polyphonic methodology and epistemology. In their performative writing they use this artistic competence as their starting point, using performativity as an active event that produces representations of lived lives, the production of existential empiricism. Their endeavour is to illuminate value-related and new questions through art making and establish an epistemological and methodological basis for working with art and academia. The authors believe that the blurring of borders between art and academia contributes to epistemological and methodological pluralism. \u0000Through artistic experiences, academia becomes vital and varied, creating a diversity of ways in which knowledge and the meaning of life can be represented.","PeriodicalId":329360,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Art and Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131546738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an incremental research project spanning over a six-year period the project was developed and changed systematically in collaboration with the students. \u0000The embroidery project phases demonstrate how students are included in action research and how research-based teaching is completed in the first year of teacher education. The observed results from the projects all use photographs as documentation to analyse the organisation of the education and seeks to reveal differences between the methods of cooperation and collaboration. The research question concerns how these practice-based experiences in embroidery can become empirical data for research. The empirical data underline the role of the lecturer as both artist, researcher, and teacher in influencing the dynamics of the groups but also trying to nurture artistic outcomes. Furthermore, the experiences become part of critical reflections on the art teacher’s practice or perhaps in response to her professional development review.","PeriodicalId":329360,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Art and Research","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133962920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
