  • Angels, ghosts & cannibals : essays on art education and visual culture
    (2016) Tavin, Kevin; Kallio-Tavin, Mira
     School of Arts, Design and Architecture | D4 Julkaistu kehittämis- tai tutkimusraportti tai -selvitys
    This book personifies a journey through art education at the beginning of the twentieth-first century. Starting with advancing critical pedagogy and visual studies, the book establishes a path for the movement of visual culture. It then attempts to wrestle with speculative angels and search for liminal apparitions within theory and practice of visual culture. This includes struggling to create a theoretical framework and position specific examples for art education. The essays begin to shift from a critical pedagogy perspective to one informed by Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. The second part of the book embodies an attempt to turn visual culture and art education on its head, so to speak. In total, the book may be read as an assemblage of ideas, provocations, and suggestions for cannibalizing theory and self-cannibalizing practice of art education, as we move toward a post-visual culture era, as well as a personal and professional challenge to know, and remain in doubt.
  • The art of research II : process, results and contribution
    (2012) Mäkelä, Maarit; O'Riley, Tim
     School of Arts, Design and Architecture | D4 Julkaistu kehittämis- tai tutkimusraportti tai -selvitys
    Building on the work published in The Art of Research: Research Practices in Art and Design (Maarit Mäkelä & Sara Routarinne 2006), this anthology aims to unpick some of the issues surrounding practice-led research in the areas of art and design. The lively debate concerning research in this context began more than two decades ago and is still very much alive. Amongst other issues, the themes discussed have included how art and design research can be formulated, communicated or expressed; the status of the artefact and its context; what relation such practice-led research can have both to other disciplines and to the academic world in general; and its connections and relevance to spheres of professional practice. The anthology is based on the Art of Research conference held at the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 2009, with the theme 'Process, Results and Contribution'. Featuring articles by both keynote speakers and doctoral candidates, The Art of Research II looks at the entanglement of thinking, writing, making and reflecting, and the inevitable, if at times unacknowledged, role of serendipity in the context of practice-led research. By presenting examples of case studies and practical and theoretical reflections, as well as laying out some of the relevant territory, the anthology provides a practical and philosophical contribution to the on-going debate surrounding the practice-led research.
  • Thesis design : research meets practice in art and design master's theses
    (2015) Seliger, Marja; Hahn, Young-ae; Lappalainen, Pia
     School of Arts, Design and Architecture | D4 Julkaistu kehittämis- tai tutkimusraportti tai -selvitys
    The aim of a Masters thesis is to demonstrate a candidates proficiency, knowledge and skills learned in the field of study. In art and design universities the skills have traditionally meant design expertise, artistic excellence and uniqueness demonstrated through an artwork or a design product. Today also research skills are required and an ability to verbalize and conceptualize design processes and artistic outcomes, their societal and art-philosophical connections. This book exemplifies three types of Masters theses theoretical, artistic and production-based theses and their various epistemologies, strategies of inquiry and methodologies. The categories are based on a literature review and a survey of recently published Masters theses at the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture. The book is aimed especially for Masters students to help them in designing and defining a thesis topic and a research approach in the fields of art, design and architecture to help them defining a thesis topic and selecting the research approach. The publication offers examples of how research meets art and design practices in Master's education, promoting new approaches to design fields and research.
