How Artistic Research Ends
Danny Butt, Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne

“Artistic research” shadowed the growth of graduate study in studio arts in
the late 20th century, including the integration of many art schools and
polytechnics into a tightly integrated and networked higher education
sector, and an accompanying interest in art’s relationship to traditional
academic disciplines. As the art education sector grew, the key debates
were concerned with what the future of artistic research should look like
as it expands.

However, given the impact of neoliberal austerity measures and funding cuts
that have resulted in programme closures and declining enrolments, we now
consider the likelihood of artistic research contracting. What if artistic
research is now approaching the end of its university life, a fate
potentially shared by the critical elements of the humanities and social
sciences? Based on the historical analysis from the book “Artistic Research
in the Future Academy”, this presentation imagines the potential ways
artistic research may end and what this may mean for its potential renewal.
