Cezanne: we live in a dynamic world where space, time and light could never be isolated or rendered motionless. The way light bends around forms, time varies with position, and space is neither flat nor far, give a sense of a world neing understood in all its complex simplicity.

Conventional pracice serve best as a basis of what not to do. (chapter 2)

“Let us go forth to study beautiful nature, let us try to free our minds form them (illustrious predecessors), let is strive to express ourseves according to our personal temperament. Time nad reflection, moreover, modify little by little our vision, and at last comrehension coms to us.” (Cezanne, in a letter to Emilie Bernard, 1905)

-Explore and explain complex theoretical issues.

-The process is clarified in retrospect as issues and ideas are revealed through the process of reflexive and reflective inquiry.

-Age of multimplicity, plurality and netwoks cultures (Taylor 2001)

-New knowledge is built on iterative practices that draw on what was known , even if the outcom is not.

Practice led research involves the identification of research questions, problems, but the research methods, contexts and outputs involve a focus on creative practice. This type of research aims, through creativity and practice, to illuminate or bring about anew knowledge and understanding. The result in output may not be text- based but rather a performance (music, dance, drama), design, film, or exhibition.

Practice led research meks good use of the creative and critical processs and provide novel perspectives in reviewing existing knowledge structures.

– Is the knowledge found in the art object or whether is it made in the mind of the viewer?

Browns: “symptoms of practice”.

Both knowledge production and the functions to which knowledge is put are a dymanic structure that integrates theory and practice and contributes to personal , social, and artefactual systems of understanding.

Research process: working form the “unknown to the known”.

SCOPE of research practice.

-Framework of practice:

Central strand: Theoretical practices: Experiences, Transformations, Exhibitions.

Boarder areas: Conceptual practices> Excercises, Interactions, Designs.

Practices that make good use of “think in a medium”

Dialectical practices> |Encounters, Dialogues, Narratives.

Forms to explore the human process of making meaning through experiences> of art making process ot outcomes of encounters with artworks.

“Thinking in a language”

Contextual practices> Enactments, Debates, Texts

Practices that make use of cognitive processes thata re best describing “thinking in a setting” that makes use of visual texts, issues, debates, and desires that are local in focus but global in reach.

PRACTICE as RESEARCH

First ooVoo meeting with Kate Sicchio.
1st July

NOTES

What is research question and how can be investigated through a practice, process or art and how can be demonstrated through performance.
Kate’s PhD about> what is the relationship of applying video and performance within the choreography. She worked with video performance.
1st module task: with what kind of question I start my research. Use the module as a way of practice on what we are going to do in PAF. Use it for writing a proposal.
2nd module task: how do I develop a practice of investigation that ts going to start exploring the question as a research? Thinking about what u want to do as a practice.
In both they fit in the assesment we have to write.
So write a proposal. What sort of methodology you might use within the practice? If you are looking at your own processes may you look things like fenomenology, if you are looking mainly how the audience is engaged might you use ethnographic techniques, methods like interviews/questionairies.
The piece that you present is more an example of what you discovered.
What can I discover by making this piece?
PROCESS more than a final product.
Its not necessary to be original or contribute a new knowledge( like in PhD)
GUIDILINE: Topic-research question. Methodology. Contextualization.Connectivity. How is connectide the theoretical aspect with the practical one.

“Where Prometheus pissed”

No mortal women on the earth at the time of Prometheus?

Who said that?

Who do you think saved Prometheus?

————————————————————————————————————————————-

“Oh, Prometheus, my brave, strong, powerful, rugged Man.. I come to liberate you…”

Mountain- Breast

Peak- Nipple

Eagle- Scissors

Fire- Water

Male- Female

Cut-Eat

…and where the last drop fell is where Prometheus pissed, free from any Strangulation.
