Julkaisut

JAR

The Journal for Artistic Research (JAR) is a new international, online, Open Access and peer-reviewed journal for the identification, publication and dissemination of artistic research and its methodologies. With the aim of displaying and documenting practice in a manner that respects the artist's modes of presentation, JAR abandons the traditional journal article format and offers its contributors a dynamic online canvas where text can be woven together with image, audio and video material. The result is a journal which provides a unique ‘reading’ experience while fulfilling the expectations of scholarly dissemination. The inaugural issue of JAR was released on 17 February 2011.

Tutkijakoulut

Elomedia

Elomedia harjoittaa valtakunnallisena tohtoriohjelmana audiovisuaalisen alan tutkimusta. Tällä hetkellä on käynnissä Elomedia 4 (2010–2013). Elomediaan kuuluu  seitsemän suomalaista jäsenyliopistoa sekä yksi ulkomaalainen liitännäisjäsen. Kokoonpano on ainutlaatuinen muun muassa yhdistäessään taiteellis-humanistisen ja teknis-taloudellisen näkökulman. Tutkijakoulun piirissä toimii tällä hetkellä yhteensä 18 tutkijaa.

Taiteellisen tutkimuksen tohtoriohjelma

Taiteellisen tutkimuksen tohtoriohjelma on Teatterikorkeakoulun, Kuvataideakatemian, Sibelius-Akatemian ja Aalto-yliopiston Taideteollisen korkeakoulun yhteinen hanke. Se on taideyliopistojen välinen pelkästään taiteelliseen tutkimukseen keskittynyt tohtorikoulutusohjelma, jossa tutkimisen lähtökohtina ovat taiteen käytännöt, taiteellinen ajattelu, havainto ja toiminta.

Tohtoriohjelman tarkoituksena on kehittää ja rikastuttaa taiteen alan yliopistoissa harjoitettavaa yhteistä tutkimuskulttuuria, vahvistaa taiteellisen tutkimuksen asemaa Suomessa, lisätä sen yhteiskunnallista merkitystä sekä verkottua kansainvälisesti.

Tohtoriohjelma alkoi tammikuussa 2012 ja päättyy 2015. Tohtoriohjelmasta valmistuu tänä aikana vähintään 5 taiteen tohtoria. Tohtoriohjelma on saanut rahoitusta Suomen Akatemialta.

International Summer Academy for artist-researchers

The aim of the Summer Academy is to discuss in depth participants’ doctoral projects within the developing discourses of art practice and research. A research centre near Helsinki in an enjoyable natural environment by a lake offers a peaceful atmosphere for constructive debates.

The Summer Academy provides a supportive setting where artist-researchers from all fields collaborate, present their ongoing artistic work and research and receive feedback from experienced tutors and peers from leading academic institutions. The academy aims to reflect the international diversity and scope of artistic research and to provide a stimulating intellectual environment. It seeks to clarify, discuss and develop further emerging themes and issues arising out of the individual doctoral projects of the participants within the framework of artistic research.

The Summer Academy consists of a broad range of activities including individual presentations by all the participants, discussions on material sent beforehand, individual tutoring and collective work. The maximum number of participants will be 20. The working language is English.

The second International Summer Academy for Artist-researchers will take place in Finland on August 3rd-10th 2012.
