An exhibition project by the University of Applied
Arts Vienna in cooperation with the School of Creative Media/ City University
of Hong Kong
Curated by Gerald Bast, Alexander Damianisch, Romana
Schuler
In the 1960s, the term “visual research” was
introduced into certain fields instead of the term “art”. The term “artistic
research”, which has become increasingly relevant in recent decades, continues
this development. Research characterizes an understanding that is gaining more
and more validity in art while having an innovative impact. In the exhibition
“CONTEMPORARY CODE – ARTISTIC RESEARCH”, artistic research is being
internationally positioned as part of the new academic guiding model of the
University of Applied Arts Vienna. Five years ago, President Gerald Bast
co-initiated the PEEK Research Program in Austria, with the aim of promoting an
interdisciplinary approach in the arts and sciences. Today, PEEK is one of
Austria’s key contributions to the international developments in the field of
artistic and research driven activities.
