ART AS METHOD: CONCEPT, EXPLORATION, CREATION AND REVEALING IN VISUAL RESEARCH
International Conference of PhD students in the field of Visual Arts
SIMPOZION/ SYMPOSIUM, 8th edition
“SIMPOZION” is an interaction platform dedicated to doctoral students in the field of Visual Arts and related disciplines, organized by the Doctoral School of Arts of the West University of Timișoara, Romania, part of the UNITA Alliance The generic topic of this edition focuses on the concept of art as method, which considers theoretical and artistic practices not only as forms of aesthetic production but also as modes of inquiry capable of generating knowledge. In visual research, artistic processes such as conceptual development, experimentation, and creation function as investigative tools through which artists explore ideas, perceptions, and cultural contexts.
From a theoretical perspective, this approach aligns with contemporary discussions in artistic research that emphasize the integration of practice and theory as complementaryforms of knowledge production. The conference is organized in hybrid system: onsite, at the Faculty of Arts and Design, str. Oituz no. 4, Timișoara (RO), Mansarda Gallery, and on the Googlemeet platform.
Presentations will be in English. The registration will be done by filling in the data requested in the bellow submission form. The conference program and the connection link on the online platform will be transmitted with the selection results comunication. The participation is free of charge.
