Practice Sharing (Winter 2020) is an online presentation of expanded approaches to language-based practice within the field of artistic research ‘gathered’ by the Special Interest Group in Language-based Artistic Research. The aim of this first Practice Sharing was to reflect how language-based artistic research is practised in its diversity, rather than to define or determine what it is in advance. As such, the focus on language within artistic research is considered from a broad and transforming perspective to include diverse fields such as visual arts, performance, film, theatre, music, choreography as well as literature; where language-based practices might include (as well as move beyond) different approaches to writing, reading, speaking, listening.
Contributors were invited to respond to the following 'call':
1. How is your practice? How does your enquiry in-and-through language-based artistic research manifest in specific practices and examples.
2. Outline one or two examples from your own artistic- or practice-based research — focusing on specific language-based ‘practices’ (in other words: specific processes, approaches or methods; ways of working, constellations of activity or framing patterns; particular projects or lines of enquiry-in-practice)
Over 70 individuals and collaborations are included in the first 'sharing' which can be encountered here
