The book is organized around specific institutional formations-artistic research centers, proposals, exhibitions on college campuses, and the establishment of new schools or pedagogic programs. Formal and social analysis demonstrate how artists responded to ideas of research, knowledge production, information, and pedagogy. Works discussed were produced between 1958 and 1975, a moment when boundaries between media were breaking down in response to technological, cultural, and generational change. In the context of academia, these artistic practices have taken up the look, feel, or language of various research and teaching practices. In some cases, artists bent to the demands of the cold war research university, while in others, artists developed new modes of practice and pedagogy. Reading these works through their institutional histories, author Tim Ridlen shows how artistic research practices and artistic subjectivity developed in the long 1960s within and alongside academia, transforming the role of artists in the process.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; 1: The New Academic: Artistic Research at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; 2: Aesthetic Experience: Allan Kaprow, Robert Watts, and George Brecht at Rutgers University\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; 3: Decentering Aesthetic Experience: Art in Process at Finch College\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; 4: The Artist as Researcher: John Baldessari, the Feminist Art Program and Allan Kaprow at CalArts\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; Epilogue\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; Acknowledgments\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; Notes\u003cbr role='\"\u0026lt;br'\u003epresentation\"\u003cbr\u003e \/\u0026gt; Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52640483410200,"sku":"9781978837706","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/intelligent-action-a-history-of-artistic-research-aesthetic-experience-and-artists-in-academia-paperback-softback-9781978837706","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
