LOCATION: New Art School, Manchester Metropolitan University, Creative Arts New Building, M15 6BG
PRICE: Delegate: £17 / Student - Free
This two-day symposium will explore issues surrounding the collaborative process on two levels:
1. as it occurs between academic researchers in the creative arts and professional practitioners in commercial organisations in the creative arts industries (and beyond)
2. as it focuses attention and understanding on the tacit/implicit dimensions of working across different media (including music, dance, design, creative writing, architecture and the creative industries).
The key themes of the symposium, arising from these two aspects of collaboration, will include:
• Collaboration 1: researchers working alone and together using different media and/or materials
• Collaboration 2: in relation to knowledge exchange and research effectively shared
• Performativity: exploring the process of doing research;
• Articulation: how research collaborators communicate their methods and findings to each other and their audiences;
• Ethics: exploring issues of authorship in collaborative projects.
There will be a number of keynote addresses including:
Mine Dogantan Dack (Middlesex University), with a presentation entitled “Why collaborate?: Towards a philosophy and politics of creative collaboration”.
The symposium will address questions including the following:
• What are the goals of knowledge exchange? How can the creative arts inform industry? How, in turn, does industry inform the creative arts?
• How does collaborative practice work, and how do collaborators ensure the effective sharing of knowledge? To what extent do/should collaborative artists disseminate the collaborative aspects of the work as well as the work itself?
• How do artists articulate knowledge and learning across different media? What strategies do they use for sharing their ideas with collaborators and audiences?
• How does collaboration in the creative arts raise ethical considerations and what is their impact on artists, their work and their audience? What ethical considerations are raised by collaborative practice research in creative arts contexts? What specific ethical issues must be addressed by academic and professional partners when they collaborate on creative and practice research projects?
• Who is the author of collaborative work? Who owns it?
• How can we present research findings in the creative arts via the media of the creative arts?
