For the upcoming Artistic Research Lab 2025-26
The Artistic Research Lab is a European Post-Master’s programme that fosters collective, transdisciplinary artistic research through an experimental and process-driven framework. It offers emerging artist-researchers a platform to explore new methodologies, engage in collaborative inquiry, and rethink traditional notions of authorship and knowledge creation. Operating in a para-academic and para-institutional mode, the Lab emphasizes deceleration, open-ended exploration, and the evolution of artistic practices over the production of finished works. Throughout a series of research weeks, the programme provides financial support for participants’ projects, access to technical facilities, and the backing of an international network.
Participants respond to the conceptual theme of “folds,” approached as a tool for exploring complexity, relationality, and narrative potential in artistic practice.
