The artist as researcher
A two-day international conference on artistic research and the PhD in visual art and design. 5 and 6 February 2010 at the Royal Academy of the Arts (KABK), The Hague.
In September 2008, PhDArts launched an international doctoral programme in visual art and design. PhDArts is a collaboration of the Academy of Arts of Leiden University and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
The conference will address the following issues:
The position of the PhD in visual art and design within the field of education and the art world:
A.the significance of artistic research for art education and university education.
B.the interaction between research culture and artistic practice.
Lectures by international speakers will alternate with parallel sessions in which the themes will be discussed in depth. Dutch and Flemish doctoral candidates will present their research projects. The conference will be concluded by a panel discussion with prominent representatives from the art world and the educational field.
