VIS Release #14

About VIS Issue 14

In Michael Duch’s own words:

“In this edition of VIS, we explore experimental art practices and artistic research where the experiment forms the very heart of the practice – the main pulse of the artwork. That is, where the outcome of the artistic process is unknown, and the final artistic product cannot be predetermined.

In many artistic research projects and proposals, there seems to be a need for a clear and specific artistic outcome even before the project has started. But doesn’t that limit the possibilities within experimental art – where the experiment itself is both the process and, at times, the artwork itself? How, then, does the process of experimentation – along with its potential failures – become visible? Can the format or presentation itself shape our understanding of it? And finally, could “mistakes” create a productive disturbance – offering multiple readings and new ways of seeing our material?”

Mingling and presentations

Snacks, drinks, and mingling will be served at 16:30, followed by a presentation of the issue by editor Michael Duch, together with some of the contributing artists: Alexander Skantze, Márcia Nemer, Alessandra Di Pisa, Robert Stasinski, and Helene Berg.

Hosts: Anne Gry Haugland, Vice Rector for Research at SKH, and Heidi Möller, Editorial Project Manager for VIS

The new issue will be published on the VIS website on 21 October.
