Map! Unroll! Translate! Visualize! Contour! Outline! Practice! How can we practice artistic research not only as artists but also as curators and researchers in the social sciences and humanities? This book maps various modes and manifestations of artistic research in three contexts: contemporary art, doctoral studies, and research in academia. Employing both methods of interdisciplinary scholarly research and practice-based (curatorial) research, it outlines the most sensitive issues in artistic research: the relationship between theory and practice, connections to art practice and usual modes of research, knowledge and its production, and the changing identities of artists and researchers. Vytautas Michelkevicius employs a diagrammatic take on artistic research, both in the sense that the knowing of this subject is still diagrammatic (rather imaginary and not yet final) and that the major statements here are interpreted and presented in 25 diagrams. Written within a curatorial practice and post-doctoral fellowship, it opens up perspectives of artistic research for artists, curators, researchers in the social sciences and humanities, and wider audiences.

Mapping Artistic Research. Towards Diagrammatic Knowing.

Decolonizing: The Curriculum, the Museum, and the Mind tries to identify where we re at and where we might be going vis-à-vis the idea of decolonizing better, the process of decolonization in higher education, museums and galleries, and the ongoing legacies of colonization that shape structures and infrastructures, policies and protocols, mentalities and behaviours, and minds and bodies.
