New Book Examines Artistic Research Through Post-Soviet Perspectives
In 2023, the Hungarian University of Fine Arts published 'Approximating Borders: Artistic Research in Practice,' under the editorial guidance of Ádám Albert, Eszter Lázár, Dániel Máté, and Edina Nagy. This 223-page book delves into artistic research, which emerged in the 1990s, incorporating contributions from artists, interviews, and theoretical discussions. It stems from the EU4ART_differences initiative that involved four European art academies. Among the significant works are Rasa Smite and Raitis Smits' depiction of climate change in a Swiss Alpine forest, as well as Anca Benera and Arnold Estefán's analysis of nuclear test sites. The publication critiques documents like the Frascati Manual and highlights post-Soviet knowledge production, featuring insights from Vytautas Michelkevičius and theoretical contributions by Constanza Barbieri and Tünde Varga.
