This year the EPARM Meeting took place in Lyon, France at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique er Danse de Lyon from 18 to 20 April 2013.
Artistic Research is one of the newest concepts, and currently one of the most vigorous areas of development, in European Higher Music Education. Still controversial in some quarters, it has been eagerly seized upon in others and many institutions are now offering ‘Artistic Doctorates’ and establishing frameworks through which their teachers may be encouraged to develop their artistic practice within a research-oriented context. Precise definitions of artistic research in music are hard to come by. This is perhaps to be welcomed as the field establishes itself in a diverse and dynamic way through a proliferation of new outputs that describe themselves in these terms. However, the very diversity and growth of this activity makes it important for the ever-expanding pool of knowledge to be shared, ideas to be exchanged and consensus and collaboration to emerge. The Platform is open to all AEC members interested in artistic research:
– Institutions that have implemented artistic research at Bachelor, Master, and/or (Post) Doctoral level, or are planning on starting these programmes,
– Institutions and individuals wanting to learn more about artistic research, and/or European level developments,
– Students, teachers and staff engaged in artistic research.
The language used during the meetings is English.
The EPARM Preparatory Working Group:
Peter Dejans (Orpheus Instituut, Gent) – Chair
Darla Crispin (Orpheus Instituut, Gent)
Kevin Voets (Artesis Hogeschool Antwerpen, Antwerp)
Henrik Frisk (Royal College of Music, Stockholm)
Mirjam Boggasch (University of Music, Karlsruhe)
Magnus Andersson (Norwegian Academy of Music, Oslo)
Philippe Brandeis (CNSMD Paris)
The AEC preparatory working groups members work on the preparation of AEC events on voluntary basis. The AEC Preparatory Working Groups are all formed by coopting active individuals in the relevant field of specialization within AEC member institutions. Proactivity, as well as geographical and gender balances are the applied criteria to guarantee the diverse and dynamic character of the groups, who should ideally recreate the diversity of AEC members institutions.
Working group members are financially supported by their home institutions, which cover their travel and accommodation expenses to the working group meetings and to the actual event.
Third Meeting of the European Platform for Artistic Research in Music (EPARM)
Conservatoire Supèrieur de Musique et Dance de Lyon, 18-20 April 2013
Creativity and research share many characteristics – for example, they both deal with how ideas can be presented with novel variations and in new combinations. However, they reflect these shared characteristics in ways that that are shaped differently by their respective natures; so, for example, the creative impulse in research generally manifests itself in a more consciously rigorous and systematic way than the originality that expresses itself in the creativity of the artist.
Artistic research has yet to achieve a comparable stability in terms of method to the well-established norms of more traditional research. This may be something that will develop with time, but it may also reflect the special character of a research approach that is specifically rooted in the artistic sensibility and in artistic working practices. Artistic research is therefore a particularly interesting locus within which to explore the relationship between creativity and research.
With this in mind, the third edition of EPARM aimed to explore the rich but ambiguous territory that exists between the ‘madness’ of artistic creation and the ‘method’ of research. In doing so, it recognises the importance of method in most artistic creation, and of inspiration – the ‘Eureka’ moment – in the trajectory of much research. Most importantly, it hoped to pinpoint areas in this territory where the growing range of activities that go under the name of artistic research might be located and better understood – both in relation to each other and in comparison with pure artistic practice and pure ‘scientific’ research.
EPARM 2013 followed on immediately from the International Colloquium on Music & Dance being mounted by the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et Danse de Lyon.
