Arts Research : The State of Play

Arts Research : The State of Play is a major international conference taking place on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th May 2008 Project Arts Centre, Temple Bar, examining the future of arts research organised by my school the Graduate School of Creative Arts & Media

This major international conference will examine practice-based doctoral research across the performing arts, visual arts, design, architecture and media. Organised by newly-established Graduate School of Creative Arts & Media (GradCAM) and the HETAC Working Group on Practice Based Research the conference “aims to foster a framework of understanding in cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary practice in the Creative Arts and Media.”

Speakers and participants include high profile practitioners, active in design practices, education and performance, across the spectrum of creative arts and cognate disciplines. The programme includes speakers from Denmark, Belgium and Scotland as well as Ireland and will address issues relevant to current researchers, doctoral supervisors, academic and institutional leaders, research funders and policy-makers.

Keynote speakers include Professor Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Chair of Music at the University of Limerick, and Professor Chris Rust, Head of Art and Design Research Centre, Sheffield Hallam University.

I will not make any more boring art

boring
Not me - I'm not that easy turned off - but a video of John Baldessari's famous 1971 piece for the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where he was commissioned to create an original, on-site work but unable to travel he asked the students to write the phrase, "I will not make any more boring art" on the gallery walls which they dutifully did covered the walls with the phrase. In this video he writes the phrase in a copybook.

The Game of War

I'm amused by the reports that Guy Debord's widow has sent a cease and desist notice to Alex Galloway for copyright infringement over RSG's Kriegspiel free downloadable game ( download it while you still can!) based on Debord's Game of War. There's obviously much made of the irony that while Debord was anti-copyright his estate is now enforcing copyright but one also has to take into account his dislike of artists, academics and followers of 'situationism', his fear of recuperation and his sheer bloodymindedness, so who knows maybe she is carrying out his wishes by whatever means?

I realise it's been a while but hey it's nice to be back.
