Eine Verteidigung gegen ihre Verfechter \/ A defense against its advocates<\/p>\n
Since its beginnings in the 1990s, \u201cartistic research\u201d has become established as a new format in the areas of educational and institutional policy, aesthetics, and art theory. It has now diffused into almost all artistic fields, from installation to experimental formats to contemporary music, literature, dance or performance art. But from its beginnings\u2014under labels like \u201cart and science\u201d or \u201cscienceart\u201d or \u201cartscience\u201d that mention both disciplines in one breath\u2014it has been in competition with academic research, without its own concept of research having been adequately clarified. This manifesto attempts to resolve the problem and to defend the term and the radical potentials of a researching art against those who toy all too carefully with university formats, wishing to ally them with scientific principles. Its aim is to emphasize the autonomy and particular intellectuality of artistic research, without seeking to justify its legitimacy or adopt alien standards.<\/p>\n
