This talk will address the role of vulnerability in relation to the practice of artistic research and the challenge of developing new artistic knowledge. Vulnerability runs across the gamut of the private, personal and public realms – especially in relation to the artistic institutions which we engage with through our practices.
By its nature vulnerability invites ethical reflections, and here we will explore the ethics of change and reciprocity as focal points. Moreover, we will also touch on to the concepts of ownership and disinheritance as social stratagems which are often tacit, and effect the territories and discourses we are asked to explore and occupy.
