17 March 2023: MERIAN hosted workshop on Artistic Research & Assessment

Artistic research has emerged as an integral aspect of knowledge-generating infrastructures globally in recent decades. In the Netherlands alone, artistic research has been an established practice for over 20 years. Nonetheless, a key issue pertinent to the success of integrating artistic research into academia remains: How do we assess artistic research?

On Friday, 17. March 2023, MERIAN hosted an interactive workshop as a next step to commence this discussion. This workshop was financially supported by MACCH.

Participants that had gathered at the Open Space in ZUYD University turned out to possess a varied background: There were practicing artists, artistic research instructors, and university faculty directors. Participants were affiliated with all the relevant institutes that together make up MERIAN, the Jan van Eyk Academy (JVE), the Maastricht Institute of Arts at ZUYD University and from Maastricht University (ZUYD), the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) and the University College (UCM).​
