COST ACTION, European Forum for Advanced Practices, aprovada em 13 de novembro de 2018
No recente concurso para apoio a redes internacionais promovido pela European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) foi aprovada a criação do European Forum for Advanced Practices. Inês Moreira, investigadora em Pós-Doutoramento no IHA/NOVA FCSH, integra o grupo de proponentes desta nova rede, liderada pelo Prof. Florian Schneider, da Norwegian University of Science and Technology [Trondheim Academy of Fine Art].
O grupo de proponentes agrega artistas, curadores, académicos, arquitectos, filósofos e outros profissionais da cultura baseados em 13 países – Alemanha, Bélgica, Croácia, Espanha, Holanda, Hungria, Irlanda, Lituânia, Noruega, Portugal, Reino Unido, Suíça e Estados Unidos da América. Os trabalhos preparatórios da proposta tiveram início em Junho de 2017 num conjunto de think tanks preparatórios que reuniram em Bruxelas, no museu de arte contemporânea Wiels, e em Berlim, na Haus der Kulturen der Welt, autores que vêm debatendo a necessidade de compreender, mapear e dar visibilidade às novas práticas avançadas de investigação e criação, com o sentido de as compreender, inscrever e de influenciar as políticas de financiamento e avaliação que as possam viabilizar no futuro. Do resumo da proposta:
“EFAP’s broad goal is to establish a dialog between institutional and non-institutional, public and private partners, a dialog based in emergent new forms of research driven by doing. The participants in EFAP have actively shaped contemporary forms of research in the fields of visual art, art history, philosophy, music, theatre, dance and performance studies, architecture, design and engineering. EFAP posits a notion of Advanced Practices that comes into being through the amalgamation of methods and practices across numerous disciplines. Such a notion of Advanced Practices is being developed to respond to two sets of urgencies:
-
Ever more complex societal challenges across Europe are demanding constant new forms of knowledge exchange and transfer, as new research forms are gaining ground and become increasingly prominent modes of research output.
-
This requires new, multidisciplinary and comprehensive methods for capturing and assessing both, their quality and their impact, while operating in advance rather than retrospectively.”
Segundo a proposta, o European Forum for Advanced Practices estará activo entre 2019 e 2022.
