Arlander, How to Do Things with Artistic Research – Animal Years Revisited

Description

InHow to Do Things with Artistic Research – Revisiting Animal YearsAnnette Arlander presents her method of revisiting by returning to a series of video works named after the Chinese calendar, created in the years 2002-2014 on Harakka Island in Helsinki. As part of the Academy of Finland funded research project How to Do Things with Performance? in 2016-2020 she revisited the sites of those works as well as theoretical concepts or concerns previously discussed in relation to them. Experimenting with the video essay as a form she wrote these texts for various contexts. Here they are compiled to demonstrate how not only landscapes change over time but thinking, too, transforms. The publication has been peer-reviewed.
