'Artistic Practices and Archaeological Research' aims to expand the
field of archaeological research with an anthropological
understanding of practices which include artistic methods. The
project has come about through a collaborative venture between
Dragos Gheorghiu (archaeologist and professional visual artist) and
Theodor Barth (anthropologist). This anthology contains articles
from professional archaeologists, artists and designers. The
contributions cover a scale ranging from theoretical reflections on
pre-existing archaeological finds/documentation, to reflective
field-practices where acts of 'making' are used to interface with
the site. These acts feature a manufacturing range from ceramics,
painting, drawing, type-setting and augmented reality (AR). The
scope of the anthology - as a book or edited whole - has
accordingly been to determine a comparative approach resulting in
an identifiable set of common concerns. Accordingly, the book
proceeds from a comparative approach to research ontologies,
extending the experimental ventures of the contributors, to the
hatching of artistic propositions that demonstrably overlap with
academic research traditions, of epistemic claims in the making.
This comparative approach relies on the notion of transposition:
that is an idea of the makeshift relocation of methodological
issues - research ontologies at the brink of epistemic claims - and
accumulates depth from one article to the next as the reader makes
her way through the volume. However, instead of proposing a set
method, the book offers a lighter touch in highlighting the role of
operators between research and writing, rather entailing a
duplication of practice, in moving from artistic ideas to epistemic
claims. This, in the lingo of artistic research, is known as
exposition. Emphasising the construct of the 'learning theatre' the
volume provides a support structure for the contributions to
book-project, in the tradition of viewing from natural history. The
contributions are hands-on and concrete, while building an agenda
for a broader contemporary archaeological discussion.
