Research Ecologies, the first LAB of the Local School on doing artistic research by and for researchers who are working in performing­ and other fields of the arts.

During this first encounter we focussed on questions concerning the ‘ecologies’ of research, or in other words: the different sorts of context that we meet or initiate.

During the lab there are three parallel work ­sessions, led by these inspiring guest: Nick Shepherd (professor in Archaeology and Heritage Studies, Aarhus University), Marlies Vermeulen/Dear Hunter (spatio­architect from Belgium) and Aymeric Mansoux (head of PUBX experimental publishing MA at Piet Zwart Rotterdam). They shared there rich artistic practises and modes of research in very different fields; archaeology/history, architecture/cartography, and multi media/publishing.
