Artistic Research, Arts-based Research, FoldAbstract
This special issue brings together seven contributions arising from the 8th International Conference on Artistic Research and Arts-Based Research (Girona, 2024). Drawing on the Deleuzian concept of the fold, both approaches are conceived as in-between spaces: between making, teaching and researching, and between what is already known and what cannot yet be articulated. After situating their genealogies and ethical dimension, the presentation introduces the articles, which address methodological rigour, the exhibition as a research event, feminist disobedience, autoethnography, and teacher education in digital environments. The issue unfolds the tensions within the field without relinquishing either openness or rigour.
