This groundbreaking edited collection brings together international contributions, inviting readers to engage performatively with its provocations and articulations.

This edited collection offers a diverse array of contributions that challenge conventional thinking about art(s) research. From performance-texts to visual essays, each piece provides a fresh perspective, encouraging readers to question preconceived notions and explore new avenues of inquiry. In doing so, it presents a topological approach to understanding art(s) research, emphasizing its complexity and interconnectedness. By traversing methodologies, epistemologies, and identities, readers gain a deeper appreciation for the dynamic nature of the field and its potential for innovation, goes beyond traditional academic writing, embracing a variety of formats to convey its ideas. Through innovative approaches such as graphic exposition and provocations, the book demonstrates how different modes of articulation can expand the boundaries of scholarly discourse and foster creativity.

This book is essential for scholars, practitioners, and students across disciplines interested in pushing the boundaries of academic inquiry. It is particularly valuable for those engaging with alternative modalities of research and seeking to challenge dominant power structures within academia.

Beyond Borders is an important “provocation and invitation to challenge fixed categories and conceptions of what constitutes creative arts research” The essays are a timely reminder of how the emergent and improvisatory approaches of artistic research allow “new syntheses of knowledge across borders of disciplines.” At the core of such approaches lies the alternative logic of embodied and experiential practice.

-Estelle Barrett, Honorary Professorial Fellow, Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne

Beyond Borders offers a rich compendium of essays by and for artists that brings arts research alive, offering the reader multiple perspectives on this “thing” called artistic research. It adopts the conceptual framework of counter-cartography to provide a springboard for artists to interrogate and articulate their own art as research.

-Dr Barbara Bolt, Professorial Fellow, Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, University of Melbourne.
