Tutkimustoiminta taiteen laitoksella

Taiteen laitos harjoittaa tutkimusta kaikilla ohjelmien, opetuksen, oppimisen ja tiedotuksen tasoilla.

Laitoksella on käynnissä tutkimusryhmiä, tutkimustapahtumia ja julkaisuja, joissa käsitellään taiteen ja visuaalisen kulttuurin suhdetta poliittisen talouteen, kasvatukseen ja sosiaalisiin muutoksiin. Taiteen ja talouden, taiteen ja kasvatuksen sekä taiteen ja tieteen tutkiminen edellyttää uutta perustaa, jonka artikuloiminen on tutkimuksen keskeinen tavoite. Tähän päästään sitouttamalla eri alojen tutkijoita taiteen ja taiteellisen toiminnan tutkimukseen ja osallistumalla aktiivisesti valikoitujen alojen teorianmuodostuksen suuntaamiseen kohti kompleksista kysymyksenasettelua. Alla on esimerkkejä Taiteen laitoksen nykyisestä tutkimustoiminnasta.

Critical social research and activism in art

This research focuses on activism, ethical perspectives and aspects of social justice, bringing forth societal questions on cultural diversity and environmental issues, such as immigration, whiteness, gender-aware research, and disability studies. Research takes place through artistic practices and research, arts-based research, curating and mediating art. Research themes share a critical aspect on power structures and questions about privileged positions in society. Solidarity, emancipation, criticality and embodied knowledge play a crucial role in this discourse.

Art education and future learning

Research on art education has over 100 years of history in the department and has a vivid connection to art teaching practices within and outside of schools. It includes historical, artistic, arts-based, philosophical, epistemological and sociopolitical research in the areas of art, pedagogy, schooling, education, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Emerging practices within art education includes varied notions of future arts learning, from programming to artificial intelligent.

Art, science & technology

The focus is on the intersection of art, science and technology as well as on research of multi/inter/transdisciplinary education. Research is done in collaboration with researchers and teachers from other schools of Aalto University as well as individual artistic research projects, for example in Aalto Biofilia laboratory, and in the context of environmental art. The study includes the latest developments in technology taking into consideration (post)human, post-digital, post-internet, and other contemporary artistic aspects.

Culture, material and history

Research in culture, material and history at the department of art focuses on social and cultural practice, and investigates how culture and cultural meanings are produced in society, both in the past and the present, with a special focus on materials (pigments, dyes, textiles etc.). The specific themes range from colour in arts to the use of material-based methods in cultural studies of dress. Most of the work is related in the fields of art and cultural history or artistic research, but our work also draws on other methodological traditions, such as social history, natural sciences and anthropology.

Visual and popular culture & aesthetics

This research focus targets visual and aesthetic cultures from sport and food and from media to politics. Diverse methodological traditions are embodied (cultural studies, anthropology, philosophy), and issues like gender, racialization, environment and the institutional problems of cultural production are central.
