Description/Abstract: | This presentation explores my University for the Creative Arts (UCA) 2011-12 Learning and Teaching Research Project, Searching and Re-Searching for a Practice: An Exploration at the Edge of Things. An auto ethnographic project, it came about after I had finished a Post-Graduate Certificate in Teaching (PGC) at UCA in 2011. The aim was to build on the successes of the course and to find my way back to my own art practice. The project was proposed as a yearlong study to explore the landscape of research methodologies within fine art and the qualitative edge of social science. As it turns out, I have explored something wider: what research is, particularly artistic or practice-led research; how is it different from practice; and most importantly what this all means for me Post-PGC. It has been a navigation of the new terrain in which I find myself, at the edges of things and of identities: artist, teacher, practitioner, researcher; of territories: fine art, sociology, art practice, artistic research, qualitative research, linguistic, visual, spatial, bodily ways of knowing; as well as observing how these things meet and collide. This presentation exposes my process, the rationale, and its material, physical outcomes, so far and proposing some ideas for dissemination. |
