| Summary: | 'Artistic Practices and Archaeological Research' aims to expand the field of archaeological research with an anthropological understanding of practices which include artistic methods. The project has come about through a collaborative venture between Dragos Gheorghiu (archaeologist and professional visual artist) and Theodor Barth (anthropologist). This anthology contains articles from professional archaeologists, artists and designers. The contributions cover a scale ranging from theoretical reflections on preexisting archaeological finds/documentation, to reflective field practices where acts of making are used to interface with the site. These acts feature a manufacturing range from ceramics, painting, drawing, typesetting and augmented reality (AR). The scope of the anthology as a book or edited whole has accordingly been to determine a comparative approach resulting in an identifiable set of common concerns. Accordingly, the book proceeds from a comparative approach to research ontologies, extending the experimental ventures of the contributors, to the hatching of artistic propositions that demonstrably overlap with academic research traditions, of epistemic claims in the making. |
