What is‘artistic research’? I say‘artistic research’. I could have used a number ofalternative names:‘art as research’,‘arts-based research’,‘creative research’,‘fine artresearch’,‘practice-based research’,‘practice-led research’and‘visual arts research’.It is by no means clear whether they all refer to exactly the same thing. I don’tpropose to identify how one differs from another, since there is too much shiftingand sharing of cares and concerns between them. The growth in very similarvocabulary, together with the number of publications, is an indication of interest inthe area(s), but also a sign of the uncertainties and anxieties surrounding the ideathatart can be or can create research.There are also similar developments in creativewriting, music, theatre and performance. For a list of some of the book-lengthstudies in thefields, see the bibliography at the end of this introduction. In thisbook, I am primarily interested infine art or visual arts research. I shall refer to thetopic as‘artistic research’, while being mindful of its near-synonyms and the factthat it does not have an agreed definition. This is because it draws a contrast withconventional or scientific research, and appears to be sticking as a title in recentliterature (e.g. Borgdorff2012; Schwab 2013; Slager 2015).While there is uncertainty over the name and the idea, one area upon whichthere is general agreement is the origin of artistic research: the growth of auditculture in university research, and the marketization of higher education. Thefirstresearch assessment exercise (RAE) was conducted in the United Kingdom in 1986with the purpose of identifying which university departments merited governmentresearch funding (although it was originally called the Research Selectivity Exercise).As Bence and Oppenheim note, it was‘a relatively low-key affair involving only“traditional”universities’with‘only a small proportion of [government] fundingbeing apportioned as a result of the ratings’(Bence and Oppenheim 2005: 144).However, by the third RAE in 1992, virtually all government research funding wasdecided by the ratings scored by university departments in the exercise (Bence and Oppenheim 2005: 144). By the end of the 1990s, comparable exercises were beingconducted in Australia, Hong Kong, Poland and Slovakia, with Germany, Italy,the Nordic countries, Hungary and New Zealand using a small component ofresearch assessment alongside another, more heavily weighted measure, typicallyresearch student numbers (Roberts 2003: 92). Up until this point, art had not beena research subject in the sense recognized by the RAE. In the United Kingdom, arthad only entered the academy as a subject for study in higher education in the1960s as a result of the Coldstream Report, published by the National AdvisoryCouncil on Art Education.
