| Summary, etc | "F. Scott Fitzgerald famously said that the test of a ′first rate intelligence′ is ′the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind and still retain the ability to function.′<br/><br/>In this book, his magnum opus, artist and scholar Graeme Sullivan shows us a first rate mind at work. He convincingly straddles the often wide gaps between art and science, mind and body, research and practice, teaching and doing, traditional and postmodern views of education and of art, creative and critical thinking. Indeed, as his enigmatic title indicates, he is actually able to keep three usually disparate concepts-art, research, and practice-in mind at the same time. Through his skilled use of compelling sidebars and apt illustrations, Sullivan shows that he can practice what he preaches. I have been arguing with and learning from Graeme for thirty years and am grateful that he has the opportunity to share his provocative ideas and insights with a wider readership. Indeed, whether or not we agree with every contention, he heightens our own intelligences."<br/>-Howard Gardner, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Author of Five Minds for the Future<br/><br/>Substantially updated and revised, Art Practice as Research, Second Edition presents a compelling theory that the creative and cultural inquiry undertaken by artists is a form of research. Sullivan argues that legitimate research goals can be achieved by choosing different methods than those offered by the social sciences.. Artists emphasize the role of the imaginative intellect in creating, criticizing, and constructing knowledge that is not only new but also has the capacity to transform human understanding.<br/><br/>New to this Edition<br/><br/>Two new chapters explore debates surrounding art practice as research and projects undertaken within the art world, community, and institutional settings.<br/>New, expanded sections make reference to the work of over fifty artist-researchers from countries such as Azerbaijan, Australia, China, Italy, Mexico, Pakistan, Serbia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.<br/>Documentation of a series of approaches (for instructors and students), grounded in art-making traditions unique to visual arts research, is included. |
