By Aslaug Nyrnes and Nina Schjønsby
The seminar will focus on various forms of writing in the context of artistic research. Through text examples we aim to reflect on different options and challenges typical of texts in the genre.
We will give two short lectures (30 minutes each):
Professor Aslaug Nyrnes:
A topological perspective on writing in artistic research: Between personal notes and academic thesis
Assistant Professor Nina Schjønsby:
Developing a text as a social and critical act
With these lectures as a starting point and throughout the seminar we will discuss principal questions on writing. The focus will be on different genres, the structure of the text, criticality, references and the writer’s voice.
All participants are welcome to submit a text in progress. Notes, abstracts, articles, essays, catalogue texts, reflections, etc. are equally welcome, but the text should not exceed 5 pages. All submitted texts will be read by all participants, and everyone will receive feedback on their writings during the seminar.
