The book is structured around specific institutional formations, including artistic research centers, proposals, exhibitions on college campuses, and the establishment of new schools or pedagogic programs. Formal and social analysis unveil how artists responded to ideas related to research, knowledge production, information, and pedagogy. The works discussed in the book were created between 1958 and 1975, a period characterized by the breakdown of boundaries between media in response to technological, cultural, and generational changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the realm of academia, these artistic practices have adopted the aesthetics, methodologies, or language of various research and teaching practices. Artists have responded to the demands of cold war research universities in some instances, while in others, they have pioneered new modes of practice and pedagogy. By examining these works through their institutional histories, author Tim Ridlem demonstrates how artistic research practices and artistic subjectivity evolved in the long 1960s within and alongside academia, ultimately transforming the role of artists in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 227g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 156 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781978837706\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothy Ridlen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46233881575674,"sku":"9781978837706","price":24.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1718360171989_book.jpg?v=1718437681","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/intelligent-action-a-history-of-artistic-research-aesthetic-experience-and-artists-in-academia-9781978837706","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
