natural sciences, the discourse surrounding<br>practice-based research in art and design is relatively young and<br>includes a range of diverse approaches. What practice-based research<br>is or is not, is highly controversial. Does it mean that the<br>researcher investigates his/her own (visual) practice, or rather, that<br>visual practice is a means of investigation? Other questions arise in<br>the context of 'normal science' and the knowledge economy: what are<br>the goals of such research, and what is the desired outcome? What are<br>the connecting lines between art and science, between practice and<br>theory?<br><br>Following on from the student-led symposium Who is Afraid of Artistic<br>Research? that focused on the comparisons of the UK and European<br>systems of PhD education, this seminar aims to continue the discussion<br>of practice-based artistic research with an emphasis on the<br>individual, their subjects, methods and negotiations within
the<br>discourse of methodology. The afternoon will provide an opportunity to<br>hear about different approaches to study/research followed by a<br>chaired discussion that will be open to audience participation.<br><br>Speakers:<br>Armin Medosch, artist/curator/author (Goldsmiths College, London)<br>Dr Lorens Holm, architect/author (Geddes Institute, University of Dundee)<br><br>Chair: Dr Anna Notaro, cultural theorist (MAI, University of Dundee)<br><br><br>The event is free, but advance booking is required: 01382-909900<br><br>Dundee Contemporary Arts · Nethergate 152 · Dundee DD1 4DX<br><br>http://www.vrc.dundee.ac.uk/Visual_Research_Centre/whats_on.html<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></pre></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
