“What does art know? It is not just one of the issues, it is the issue of current art schools and their politics: artistic research. But what is artistic research really about and what does it mean for contemporary art? All too often, weight is given to the academic aspect and the artistic part is overshadowed. The more interesting question is how art knows: how artistic thinking develops through artistic processes and takes shape in artworks. This is precisely the departure point of the artist, academic, and curator Lucy Cotter” (Reclaiming Artistic Research, 2019).

This hybrid ALL THIRD event is open to the expanded community of the THIRD program on artistic research. In conversation with Lucy Cotter we will be gathering around questions of the relationship between the artistic and the academic, and what it means to think across and through a range of practice-based approaches, including artmaking, exhibition-making, and writing. 

Cotter curated the Dutch Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale and was most recently Curator in Residence at Oregon Center for Contemporary Art 2021-22 in Portland, US. Her writings on contemporary art have appeared in Mousse, Flash Art, Artforum, Hyperallergic and Frieze. She was founding director of the Master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. Cotter works across the artistic-curatorial-academic spectrum with an interest in constellations, inter-relationships and in-between areas; in working across structures, infrastructures, disciplines and fields.
