For this session we will follow up the interesting conversations that started at the Umeå Academy of Fine Arts’ research seminar a couple of weeks ago where Dr. Malin Arnell did a super enlightening presentation of her Phd on the topic of Why do we engage with artistic research. That same day a debate article Statstrogna konstnärer utan publik- Statens växande satsning på högskoleanknuten konstnärlig forskning riskerar att beröva konsten både dess lockelse och dess frihet came out in the journal Respons by Lyra Ekström Lindbäck taking the lead in the questione whether artistic research is important at all?
Let´s get together and talk more about this burning topic. UmArts Deputy Director Ylva Fernaeus, Associate Professor at Umeå Institute of Design will lead the conversation.
Um…Crits is open to everyone in the UmArts community- Researchers, teachers and freelance artists. Interested in joining this session? Let us know if you are coming by sending an email to clara.west@umu.se
