Art is a Dog

I Experience as I Experiment – I Experiment as I Experience The exhibition on experience and experimentality in artistic work and research brings together 17 artworks and 17 texts by artists and researchers working with installation, sculpture, mixed reality installation, environmental art, performance, photography, moving image, and media art. The authors discuss how (or why) their artworks relate to their artistic research practice, and what roles experience and experimentality play in their artistic research. These issues are addressed by investigating both momentary experiences (elämykset, Erlebnisse) and experience as something accumulated over time (kokemus, Erfahrung) in the context of the everyday work of artists involved in art making, artistic research and teaching at the university level.

The works and texts are discussed in the KuvA Research Days conference on Tuesday, December 10. Coordinator: Denise Ziegler, postdoctoral researcher, Uniarts Helsinki.
