Peripheral Perspectives
FilmEU Artistic Research Exhibition 2023
Genk, Belgium, 2 October and online from 8 October
FilmEU (The European University for Film and Media Arts) strives to develop and reinforce the field of artistic research in European Higher Education, promoting the relevance of cultural and aesthetic values across Europe. FilmEU, currently brings together four European Higher Education Institutions: Lusófona University from Lisbon, Portugal; Tallinn University’s BFM (Baltic Film, Media and Arts School) from Estonia; LUCA School of Arts from Brussels, Belgium; and IADT (Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art Design and Technology) from Dublin, Ireland.
We stand at a pivotal moment in the history and the development of artistic research in Europe, when models of funding, supervision and assessment are under scrutiny. It is vital that we create a public space for displaying and debating artistic research outside the walls of academia.
In 2023, the exhibition will bring to an international arena work that is currently hidden and out of the spotlight. In a hunt for what is peripheral, the aim is to bring visibility to that which lies hidden in academic departments, and to enrich the debate on artistic research. Peripheral Perspectives addresses a topic of major importance for art universities and contemporary practitioners in the creative arts: the function and relevance of creative work within the university terrain and its affinity with research practices.
