Rezensionen

'In view of the quality of the chapters as well as the overall diversity and content of the book, it is difficult to find some weak spots.' - Johan Verbeke, vice-dean FAK

'This book is a wonderful volume of high quality contributions which make this obligatory reading for all researchers and PhD supervisors active in the domain of artistic research and research through design(ing). The book also nicely shows that artistic research merits now its own place in academia and should be given the necessary funds to develop its own discourse and methods.' - Johan Verbeke, vice-dean FAK

'The practice-led PhD, which began in the U.K., is now ubiquitous in several parts of the world. As the doctorate becomes more settled in university life, it becomes increasingly important to reach a balanced understanding of its basic concepts, methods, and outcomes. What is artistic research? How does art create new knowledge? How can a PhD-level art exhibition be assessed for quality? This book is the first comprehensive look at concepts such as research, knowledge, creativity, the visual, experiment, quality, and assessment, as they are used in practice-based programmes influenced by the U.K. and E.U. models of higher education. Now that art is being taught in universities at the doctoral level, it may spur a fundamental rethinking of the university's basic concepts of professionalism, community, and purpose. For that reason this book is also an irreplaceable resource for those interested in the coherence and idea of the university as a whole.' - James Elkins, The Art Institute of Chicago
