The focus will be on language and discourse, and the development of strategies for embodying and disseminating the experiences drawn from the field of Artistic Research.<br> <br> As a rapidly evolving discipline Artistic Research is the site of ongoing and evolving epistemological debate regarding the foundations, scope and validity of the knowledge it uncovers as well as creates, and the mechanisms by which it embodies such knowledge. This symposium will endeavour to address these issues in order to advance the debate by focusing on notions of “embodiment” as they have emerged in our discussions to date, but also with regard to the proposals received in response to this call. <br> <br> The work of the study circle will culminate in the publication of an anthology (to be published in 2013) that will focus on communicating methodologies, specific examples of artistic research, and the dissemination of knowledge through various media and multimedia solutions. The aim is to reach out to our peers as well as art students interested in the field, and you are invited to contribute. We invite you to continue working on a contribution through the following three meetings of the study circle with continuous feed back from the participants.<br> For the winter symposium we welcome proposals for presentations in various formats, ranging from demonstrations and presentations/exerts of artistic work, to theoretical reflections and suggestions for panel discussions.
