Delves into issues such as knowledge production, artistic thinking, medium-specificity, and context-responsiveness. How do these issues connect to the current state of art education and artistic research? A starting point for the publication is a series of curatorial projects by Henk Slager in various parts of the world: 'Flash Cube' (Leeum Seoul 2007), 'Trans Local Motion' (Shanghai Biennale 2008), 'Nameless Science' (Apexart New York 2009), 'As the Academy Turns' (Manifesta 2010), 'Any Medium Whatever' (Venice Biennale 2011), 'Doing Research' (Documenta 2012), 'Offside Effect'(Tbilisi Triennial 2012), 'Joyful Wisdom' (Istanbul Biennale 2013), and Aesthetic Jam (Taipei Biennale 2014). The author argues that artistic research should foreshadow a gaya scienza: a temporary autonomous activity where intellectual pleasure and an experimental method invigorate forms of research and thought.

“Meet Tom Kirk…heir to the throne of the twisty international thriller, a seat that has belonged to Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan for more than two decades.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer The Geneva Deception by James Twining brings back reformed art thief Tom Kirk for a fourth nail-biting outing. A high-wire act of fast-paced narrative and engaging mystery, The Geneva Deception has Kirk racing across the globe on the trail of a missing masterpiece and a killer whose grisly handiwork copies scenes from classic works of art. If you haven’t yet discovered James Twining (“A worthy successor to Forsyth, Follett, and Higgins.” —Christopher Reich) or his intrepid protagonist Tom Kirk (“An action hero as adroit and charismatic as Clive Cussler’s Dar Pitt.” —Library Journal), here’s an excellent place to start.
