The Art of Creative Research

Facilitator: Helen Ennis, Associate Professor, Art Theory Workshop, ANU
School of Art

 

How do paintings work as 'question-producing machines'? Three painters
draw on their experience of the studio-based PhD to explore the
proposition that the research of practicing artists may constitute a new
field of art scholarship, quite distinct from the established practices
of art history and art theory.

 

Ruth Waller is the Head of Painting at the School of Art and is a
painter and an occasional writer. She will identify some of the ways in
which painting might be considered as a form of speculative research by
drawing on projects undertaken by the current HDR cohort in Painting.

 

Suzanne Moss is in the third year of her PhD in Painting at the School
of Art. She will discuss her research on the relations between the
manipulation of colour to generate light and the materiality of the
painted surface. 

 

Nicola Dickson began her PhD in Painting at the School of Art in 2006.
Her research explores painting as a means of examining and evoking the
perception of the exotic in Australia.
