Organized by GradCAM, Arts Research: Publics and Purposes comprises a week-long series of symposia, workshops, conference presentations, performances and exhibitions. Participants and contributors can join us for the entire week - or to select those elements of the programme that are most relevant to their interests.

Each day has a particular focus: design and animation on Monday 15th | music on Tuesday 16th | culture and citizenship on Wednesday 17th | arts research and its publics on Thursday - Friday 18th-19th.

The conference will also feature a series of exhibitions and perfomances, including Critique of Archival Reason and Re : Public.

The conference addresses the state of development of contemporary research in and through cultural practice. It makes particular reference to questions of the public interest, and of the broad purposes, that arts research may serve.
At the heart of the programme are the questions:

* what are the emerging priorities within the various fields of arts research?
* for whom is this research being developed?
* what motivates art researchers both in general and with respect to specific research projects?

In short: 'who for? what for?'

The conference is organised in collaboration with the European Art Research Network and associated partners including: Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (AU); Academy Sint-Lucas Brussels (BE); KUVA Helsinki (FI); UAIV Venice (IT); MaKHU Utrecht (NE); University of Lisbon (P); University of Malmo (SW); University of Gothenburg (SW); Slade UCL (UK); and Leeds (UK).
