Call for members: Community of Practice - The Art of Feedback

About the Community of Practice - The Art of Feedback

With our community of practice we add a dimension to our research project. CoP - The Art of Feedback is an open learning space for supervisors, artistic doctorates and other actors involved.

Why become a member of the CoP?

Supervisors of artistic doctorates rarely seem to receive specific training in how to establish a constructive environment and discourse in which to address the artistic work directly. Agreeing the parameters for meaningful critique – critique which is not based solely on a shared artistic language – is at the heart of this relationship, which touches on the most vital and vulnerable zone of artistic research.

For supervisors; have you found certain approaches and techniques useful when directly addressing the artistic elements presented by doctorates? Have you reflected on recurring issues?

Or are you looking for ways to improve your supervisory practice by learning from these examples and tailoring them to your own situation?

For artistic research doctorates; have you experienced certain approaches and techniques useful when presenting artistic material in the different stages of your PhD journey?

Or are you looking for ways to communicate your needs better?

Outcomes and objectives

Fruitful dialogues between experts and involved actors will lead to;

• Clear feedback and discussion tools to test out and refine
• A better and faster understanding of what is needed to improve supervisory practices concerning the addressment of artistic materials
• Knowledge exchange from the different art disciplines

For who?

• Supervisors
• Artist-researchers
• Artistic research doctorates
• Others involved in artistic research doctoral programmes

Do you know of good practices in how to establish a constructive environment for artistic feedback and meaningful critique? Do you want to learn from others in the field through fruitful dialogues in an online and offline platform?
