Book presentation

Samstag, 06. Juni 2026, 15.00 - 16.30 Brunnenpassage

“Investigar modos de investigar. 10 herramientas para el desarrollo de investigaciones artísticas.”

English translation: Researching ways of researching. 10 tools for the development of artistic research.

In conversation: Laura Vilar and Josefina Zuain.

This is a book, a laboratory, a tool, and a companion for artistic research processes. The text emerges from the hypothesis that throughout every process of composition of a piece, a series of documents is simultaneously produced. Those documents are, at the same time, inventing forms of writing and modes of recording. Researching ways of researching proposes a somatic key to reflect on how we work: in, with, during, between, for, towards, and across our research processes.
