About this book

Diversity in artistic research

This book presents the results of the Octopus Programme, an innovative fellowship in the field of artistic research. This international network of eleven institutions included selected participants from Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa, and generated numerous events, workshops, and exhibitions.

By promoting international collaboration, new critical perspectives were developed to investigate the diversity of artistic research and practice in different contexts – academic as well as nonacademic – inside and outside institutions, or in relation to resources. This brings into focus not only different curatorial models, but also different modes of knowledge production.

Artistic research and collaboration between academies, art institutions, students, and experts
Curatorial forms of presentation, research and documentation, progressive educational methodology
Contributions by Ruth Anderwald / Leonhard Grond, Jonatan Habib Engqvist, Maria Lantz, Barbara Putz-Plecko, Johan Thom, and others

Author / Editor information

Başak Şenova, designer and curator, led the Octopus Programme, senior postdoctoral researcher at the University of Applied Arts Vienna
