Researches

Research involves a defined process aimed at providing new insights into a specific topic, which are communicated effectively (in a public forum).

The Iceland Academy of the Arts is responsible for the development of the academic field of art within the Icelandic university community and emphasizes the research value of creativity and an artistic approach. Art research includes diverse methods and media developed through artistic creation. They are based on a specific core of knowledge and defined subjects or questions that are brought forward through a creative process and the interaction of practical and theoretical analysis. The research is either located within the university's disciplines; architecture, design, visual arts, cinematography, performing arts, music and art education studies or worked in collaboration with different academic fields. They are presented on the basis of the arts in a context that may include aesthetic, epistemological, ethical, political and social references. Results are always communicated publicly, to experts as well as the public, whether in an artistic form or on an academic level. This direct and unmediated relationship that the arts have with society; different age groups, and played as learned, is one of the strengths of the academic field when it comes to assessing the benefits of art research.

Research output

According to the approach of the Iceland Academy of the Arts, the result of research in the field of art is always two types at the same time, on the one hand a work and on the other hand an article about the work in question. A work means a product in any form, artwork or written work, and the condition is that it has been communicated in a public forum. The university's stated policy is to encourage an experimental approach and diverse forms of communication in research work.
