FR 7: Future (Re)composition - Meeting at the British Library, Septmeber 19, 2009

Katrine and I met at the British Library to brainstorm our upcoming contribution to the Art as Text gathering, where we'll explore three kind of hybridity: the tensions between the group and the individual, between institutional space(s) (research and art), between reading, seeing, listening across text/image.

The Conference as Medium

 

HUO  And the book you are doing?

Integrated Text

Integrated texts refer to the texts disseminated as part of Future Reflections' performative presentations. These include literature referring to the presentation disseminated in the group's conference packs at the event. For example, Future Reflections produced a flyer for FR5: Future (Re)iteration, which surveyed the group's six projects to date.

Future Reflections Lexicon

Critical Collaboration: Researchtraining informed by critical theory makes researchers sensitive to bias -both the biases of others and their own. Critical collaboration can put thissensitivity into practice by creating a dynamic context for openlyengaging with these biases as a group. For Heiddegger, paying attention to the uncriticalaspects that condition our being-in-the-world involves addressing ourpre-understanding not as something temporal - before understanding - butas ontologically structural to existence: that is, pre-reflective.

Reception for the Art of Research: Research Narratives Symposium (Tate Britain)

Last night's reception at Tate Britain was a bit like a dream, like walking through Future Reflections' recent history. Old friends in attendance included Maarit Mäkelä and Kärt Summatavet from The Art of Research Symposium (Helsinki, October 2007), Luis Firmo and Tiago Miranda from Desvios/Detours III: Relational Spaces: The New Expanded Field for Art and Thought (Torres Vedras, October 2007) and Michael Schwab from Figurations of Knowledge (Berlin, June 2008).

Rhetorical Response: The Art of Research Seminar

Future Reflections Research Group is presently reworking a submission we made to The Art of Research Seminar (2007) publication. Below are a few aspects of our co-authorial/editorial process. These are my reflections. Katz and Katrine  may well have similar/different/additional impressions. 

This submission braids together three different texts:

Text One - The original text written for and read (in parts) at the Art of Research Seminar, Helsinki (October, 2007)

Confirmation Interviews

At the end of May all members of Future Reflections Research Group went through what is called a Cofirmation Interview - which it the process used by University of the Arts, London to confirm whether a candidate's final research classification will be a PhD or an Mphil. All members were upgraded and confirmed as PhD candidates. 

RNUAL Presentations

This week all members of Future Reflections will be presenting on their individual research during RNUAL week.
