Entangled Fields of Research in the Arts: Institute for Contemporary Art Research 2001-2022
Inventory and Hinge provides an overview of the research projects performed over the last two decades at the Institute for Contemporary Art Research (IFCAR) of Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). It is an inventory because it presents all the projects realized during this period with many figures and illustrations. It is a hinge because links and QR codes grant access to nearly all publications and websites that were created by the individual projects.
Artistic work interconnects multiple competencies and areas of knowledge, ways of life and working, and the IFCAR research projects are thus organized in correspondence with this transgressive gesture, which becomes manifest here as interdisciplinary, networked knowledge production. The cultivation of these complexities has been a mission of the IFCAR since its inception.
Throughout these pioneering years the IFCAR has always seen its task in the promotion of research competency in the fine arts, and in providing support for the conception and execution of concrete projects. Although art as research has a long tradition outside of institutions, this task meant nothing less than introducing a new research discipline into the context of knowledge and establishing a new genre in the context of art. Each of the projects presented in this book involves research through the process of creation—but they often also conduct a metadiscourse on artistic research itself.

Gegenwartskunst im Landschafts- und Siedlungsraum La Plaiv, Oberengadin
Die Publikation stellt die Projektskizzen vor, die dreizehn Künstlerinnen und Künstler speziell für die Region La Plaiv (Oberengadin) erarbeitet haben. Das Spannungsfeld zwischen lokaler Identität und touristischem Mehrwert, zwischen Ortsverbundenheit und Mobilität bildet für die Werke nicht nur den Hintergrund, vielmehr wird es ihn ihnen selber zum Thema. Die Projekte können somit als «Sensorien» verstanden werden, die die kulturellen Konfliktlinien der Region aufspüren, ihnen Ausdruck verleihen und sie damit individuell wie öffentlich verhandelbar machen.

Urban Research and Practice in a Fast-changing Neighborhood
Savamala, ein traditionsreicher, seit den 1950er Jahren jedoch vernachlässigter Stadtteil Belgrads erfährt seit einiger Zeit einen raschen Wandel. Die Untersuchungen des Bureau Savamala von 2013 und 2014 zeigen die Veränderungen Savamalas sowohl in materieller und soziökonomischer Hinsicht als auch in der Wahrnehmung von Bewohnern und Besuchern Savamalas. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse werden die Möglichkeiten einer sanften und die Grenzen einer gesteuerten Aufwertung diskutiert. Gleichzeitig stellen einheimische Architekten, Künstler und Kulturschaffende ihre Projekte vor, die – zum Teil zusammen mit den Anwohnern – dazu beitragen sollen, Savamala auch ohne Gentrifizierung zu erneuern.

Deep Water | Jürgen Krusche, Siu King Chung (eds.)
Public Spaces in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong
In strongly globalized cities there are fast transformation processes on the move, reinforced by the neo-liberal policies and the resulting economic, social, urban and cultural policy strategies. From a research perspective, a main question is how to capture, describe and interpret such developments taking place at a fast pace.
Researchers and artsts from Hong Kong and Zurich worked together in a small area of Sham Shui Po, one of the poorest and still most traditional Districts of Hong Kong, to investigate its public spaces according to topics of urban transformation and gentrification.
