Talk
Introduction by Benoît Hennaut | president of art/recherche asbl and member of the board of directors of Fonds de la recherche en Art
Céline Chazalviel | coordinator and editor for art/recherche asbl
The art/research platform was established in recognition of the emergence – particularly within art schools – of diverse artistic practices that devise research methodologies suited to the questions arising within them, thereby creating a new field of investigation and new forms of knowledge. The inherently unpredictable and unverifiable nature of artistic creation thwarts any attempt to systematise or standardise procedures or methodologies. For art/research, it is therefore important to establish strategies for identifying, promoting and diffusing these particular subjects.
This presentation will provide an overview of current approaches and draw on examples of research to clarify the specific methodological challenges involved.
Founded in 2014, a / r asbl – art-recherche – is an association dedicated to supporting, facilitating exchange, disseminating and promoting art research in higher education art institutions within the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Céline Chazalviel has been its coordinator since 2023 and also acts as its publishing director.
For over ten years, she was head of publications at Villa Arson (Nice), where she was part of the research unit dedicated to critical pedagogies, La Surface démange, which also launched the eponymous publication series (Sternberg Press). She regularly teaches editorial practices at higher education institutions for the arts in France and Belgium. Her various activities are informed by feminist, queer and decolonial perspectives, with a central focus on writing, print media and editorial design.
