Under the title Feed-back, Feed-forward: Approaches to artistic feedback in doctoral supervision, the seminar shares the intellectual outputs of The Art of Feedback, a project located within the framework of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership Project Advancing Supervision for Artistic Research Doctorates. Supervisory feedback on the artistic work itself is a crucial element in the supervision of artistic research doctorates. But it is also a delicate, complex and under-discussed topic. Doctoral supervisors from all artistic research areas are invited to explore artistic feedback formats and experience through online presentations, workshops and discussions led by experts in the field. 

This seminar aims to address artistic work in a doctoral context, including examples of artistic feedback formats, the role of art critique in artistic doctoral education, available tools to help implement effective feedback cultures in doctoral programs, and the way supervisors engage with the practice of their doctoral candidates. In addition, the need for specific supervisory training in this area will be covered. The process of giving feedback on artistic work will be investigated in the light of the triangulation between supervisors, doctoral candidates and institutions. Participants will be encouraged to contribute to the discussions and share their experiences.  

The Multiplier Seminar includes:

  • Interactive sessions with guest speakers from different art disciplines, highlighting parts of the doctoral journey
  • Workshops on artistic feedback formats
  • Discussions on common themes
  • Opportunities for online networking and sharing ideas with an international community
