Abstract

Underlying personal beliefs about the relationship between artistic practice and research can influence how research management systems are designed, how individuals approach the task of evaluating artistic research and for artistic researchers themselves, the degree to which they engage with the university research agenda. This chapter explores three broad stances in relation to this relationship: that artistic practice fundamentally different from research, that artistic practice meets the criteria defining research and that artistic practice is a form of legitimate research that differs in process and output. It explores how artistic researchers themselves understand and recognise when artistic work constitutes research and the challenges that artistic research brings to traditional university expectations and practices in research management.
