Artistic Research Department LARGE
LARGE is a department dedicated to the support and development of artistic investigations at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, as well as a reflection on the nature of such inquiries. Is aim is to explore what it means to investigate not about art but through and in art: how this investigation can be carried out, how it can produce knowledge and in what relationship this knowledge finds itself to other disciplines, and to a broader social context. As such, LARGE is focused on interrogating the specificities of research conducted through artistic practice and thinking: its methods, its possible systems of evaluation and presentation, as well as the contradictions inherent in the process. Taking seriously the idea that artistic research must often produce not only its content but also its form, methods and sharing practices, LARGE places particular focus on the exploration of art specific presentation formats in research.
