Tiivistelmä
The past twenty years have seen a growing demand for more research-oriented Finnish artist education. Also, students‘ interest in theoretical reflection in their field, as well as in doctoral degrees based on artistic research has increased. At the same time, it has been aptly asked what kind of academic skills would be meaningful to teach to practice-oriented artists, and whether it is possible or necessary at all. The model offered by scientific universities often fails to provide answers to questions arising from artistic processes, and theses of art universities cannot be assessed with indicators borrowed from other fields. Within artistic research, there has, however, been no interest in creating its own canonised methodology or a uniform theoretical framework. So how can an art student or a professional artist interested in research even get started?
The purpose of this learning material is to provide the reader with possible models and methods of artistic research, as well as to address its core questions and trends. It is compiled primarily to meet the needs of Master’s studies at the Theatre Academy of Uniarts Helsinki in the 2020s, but hopefully it also provides help in applying for doctoral studies, and more generally serve a wider public interest in the subject. The aim with the texts has been to make them as easily accessible as possible, and reading them does not require prior knowledge of the topic. Above all, it is hoped that the learning material will inspire both artists in the field and art students to find new perspectives on their artistic work, and independently deepen their understanding of their own field.
The learning material consists of two parts. Laura Gröndahl has prepared an introductory section, based on her teaching and supervising for many years at various levels, at several art universities. Its aim is to provide an overview of the current starting points, principles and practices of artistic research. In-depth articles written by artist-researchers representing expertise in different fields explore in more detail current topics, most commonly used approaches, background theories and critical perspectives in artistic research. In addition, they present the recent history of the field in Finland as well as individual artistic research theses.
