Fusing together current discourses on contemporary artistic research, contemporary art theory, curatorial practice, organizational studies, sound studies, and educational theory, An Artist\u2019s Almanac to Research, Organization, Education and Bookings <\/em>is a theoretically diverse dissertation-portfolio that interweaves methodological analysis with applied experimentation. Across four chapters, it examines the epistemological possibilities of art\u2019s status as a form of knowledge, proposes a new theory of curatorial practice through the lens of organizational science, develops an educational philosophy driven by sonic phenomena, and launches a speculative academic discipline called Booking Studies<\/em>. In its blending of disciplinary forms, which involves academic and conceptual writing, immersive exhibitions, performances, workshop designs, audio works, and films, a set of distinct methodological systems are built, each offering in their own way new perspectives on the possibilities of art-as-research. <\/span>

The artist and writer invents, engineers, and implements a range of conceptual tools and vocabularies that help to comprehend and intervene on forces shaping the present regimes of artistic research, namely financialization, professionalization, <\/em>and homogenization. <\/em>A consistent intervention upon these impasses throughout is the text\u2019s emphasis on the role of the habitat or \u2018scene\u2019 in the trajectories of artistic knowledge, which is conceptualized by the author as an adaptive contextual medium that is always amenable to recalibration, capable of constantly proposing new frames of reference for the aims of practice-led inquiry. This contention is defended both theoretically, in the academic writing, and concretely, in a series of applied projects interwoven throughout the chapters. The nested documentation of these projects both amplifies and dramatizes the dissertation, through a formally varied body of work that reflects the author\u2019s own embedded roles as an artist, curator, and educator. His practice-led activity unfolds as an always responsive process to a range of institutional sites, from which a multifaceted ecology of activity emerges, involving the coordination of artistic research teams and distributed learning environments. <\/span>

In its form and content, the Almanac<\/em> seeks to expand and reorient the thresholds of \u2018doctorateness,\u2019 working consistently across platforms and modes of address to continuously evolve its voice into something else.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
