Rethinking the Practices of Music
Event14 november 2016Orpheus Instituut celebrates its 20th anniversary
2016-2017 marks the twentieth anniversary of the Orpheus Institute. We will celebrate this occasion with forty-eight hours of music, discussion and festivity to take place in Ghent from the afternoon of Sunday 13 November to the morning of Tuesday 15, 2016.
On Monday five Orpheus research groups present their work in a series of musical events. The common thread is their constant re-examining of the relationship between artistic activity and research. These artistic presentations are therefore interspersed with two panel discussions confronting questions raised by this generational moment. Experts in the field discuss present and future challenges for artistic research in music with researchers from the Orpheus Institute and our guests:
Being Inside: As artistic research in music is acknowledged as an actor, as a valid mode of knowledge production, how does it negotiate relationships with disciplines, with bodies of theory and with institutions? Are there new responsibilities?
Staying outside: As a new research ethos, early work in artistic research could claim a radical stance, a position outside. As an emerging activity it accumulates practice, theory and history. How does it learn and develop while maintaining a critical edge? Is artistic research inherently a discipline of resistance, and how can that be sustained?
