ARTS-BASED & ARTISTIC RESEARCH
Call for Papers & Projects

This conference (Jan. 31-Feb. 1, 2013) on arts-based and artistic research hosted by the Postgraduate Program in Arts and Education,
at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona, is the result of a growing interest in the relationship between artistic research and practice. By organizing this conference, our aim is to share and debate emergent fractures in the field. By approaching art through research, and research through art, this conference hopes to cast a multidisciplinary
gaze on each field.

Abstract submission deadline December 1st, 2012

Submissions
Due to the interdisciplinary interests of the conference, submissions can be either ‘papers’ or ‘projects’.
For both formats, authors should submit an abstract that does not exceed 400 words. Abstracts may be
