Abstract(s)
The simultaneity and confluence of territories promote a constant and malleable interplay between the cultures, experiences (performative and creative) and traditional and contemporary processes of the Arts and Art System. The dialectical and dialogic relationship through its multiple crosses presents itself as one of the significant challenges to research in the Arts fields. The mobilization of a diversity of knowledge, experiences, procedures and data of the artist/researcher, sometimes converting perspectives, or introducing new possibilities of interpretation allow to understand the contemporary senses of creation and artistic performance but also give to the artistic research a singular character, guided by the coexistence with gaps in the construction and definition of the structuring procedures of the research project that can lead to the verification of the causal/correlational relation or to the formulation conclusions/theses marked by the refutability and replicability. All these elements make visible the difficulties of an epistemological and methodological order existing in the uniqueness of artistic research. This communication intends to discuss the methodological challenges and dilemmas of artistic research with an incidence on artistic differences and in what way and with what qualities experiences and especially the experienceness of artists and artistic research differs from social scientists. In this context, artistic research must define its field more precisely, cultivate it and adjusting its methods and processes. Looking at artistic research from a societal perspective can contribute not only to the adjustment of epistemological and methodology definition of artistic research but also to the construction of a new social aesthetic.
