Drawing on projects and studies from Canada, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia and Scotland, this volume explores contemporary practices in artbased research and knowledge exchange in the fields of art and design.
The contributing authors provide thought-provoking accounts of current practice in these countries. The studies in the book interpret the terms ‘art' and ‘design' broadly to include, for instance, place-based art and design; textile crafts; indigenous making and socially engaged art. In addition, authors explore the potential of the disciplines of science and art collaborating on research studies. By focusing on Northern and Arctic perspectives of contemporary arts and design, links are made with issues of heritage, sustainability and culturally-sensitive research.
The fourth in the Relate North series, this book brings together the work of leading researchers to explore issues in the field of contemporary art, design, and art-based research. Relate North: Practising Place, Heritage, Art & Design for Creative Communities will be of interest to a wide audience including, for example, anthropologists, geographers, sociologists, artists, designers, art educators, practice-based researchers in addition to those with a general interest in Northern and Arctic issues.
