Touching: A Research Method in Art and Design
Now the world is slowly opening up again, the KABK Lectorate Design is happy to invite you to the exhibition Touching: A Research Method in Art and Design!
This exhibition features the materials research of students, tutors and workshop instructors from the extended KABK community.
At its centre is the research-practice of architect Laura van Santen, who teaches in Bachelor Interior Architecture & Furniture Design. Laura believes in the importance of making the knowledge generated by material research — including failures, insights, samples, recipes and steps — accessible to others.
The exhibition features Laura’s selection of material experiments and samples made in the KABK workshops, and recipes so that you can make them yourselves. As such the exhibition in itself can be seen as a prototype and a recipe for what a KABK material and sample archive might become.

About
KABK Art and Design Research Practices
With this initiative, the Lectorate Design aims to identify and share a range of research methods practiced at KABK that use the tools, approaches and capacities of art and design to create and surface new knowledge.
Each featured research method is unpacked via a video interview with a practitioner-tutor on location at their studio; an exhibition in the KABINETS research display space; a lecture, conversation or demonstration of the method; a printed publication containing Q&As, essays and contributions by KABK students, tutors and researchers; and an online platform for information exchange.
The first edition of the project (2020-2021) explored walking as a research method in art and design. In this second edition we focus on how research is conducted through and with materials and matter.
