European Artistic Research Network The European Artistic Research Network is a transnational collective linking Royal College of Art, Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Graz, Goldsmiths, University of London, Kungliga Musikhögskolan i Stockholm, and other institutions to advance practice-based inquiry in Europe. It connects practitioners associated with European Academy of Music and Arts, Le Fresnoy, Sonic Arts Research Centre, HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, and University of the Arts Helsinki to pursue interdisciplinary projects spanning Venice Biennale, Documenta, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Ars Electronica, and comparable forums. The network foregrounds methodologies resonant with work at Royal College of Music, University of Oxford, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Universität der Künste Berlin.
The network operates across nodes including Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten Antwerpen, Beaux-Arts de Paris, Slade School of Fine Art, Berlin University of the Arts and partners at Museo Reina Sofía, Tate Modern, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Centre Pompidou, and Kunsthalle Zurich. It promotes research dialogues that intersect projects held at Prague Quadrennial, Bergen International Festival, Salzburg Festival, Biennale di Venezia, and Sónar.
Early formation drew on initiatives by Netherlands Research School for Music, Danish National Research Foundation, Norwegian Artistic Research Programme, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, European Commission, and foundations such as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ford Foundation, Horizon 2020. Milestones include symposiums hosted at Royal Academy of Arts, Kunstuniversität Linz, Institut français, Goethe-Institut, and projects funded through Creative Europe and collaborations with European Research Council. Key figures who influenced the field have engaged through events related to International Society for Music Education, CILECT, Association of National Academies of Sciences, and networks linked to European League of Institutes of the Arts.
Membership spans conservatoires like Conservatoire de Paris, research universities such as University of Cambridge, University of Edinburgh, Utrecht University, and art academies including École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze. Governance involves representatives from European University Association, Confédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Auteurs et Compositeurs, International Council of Museums, Association Européenne des Conservatoires, and advisory input from curators associated with MoMA, National Gallery, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Ludwig Museum. Membership categories reflect links with Arts Council England, Kulturstiftung des Bundes, Mondriaan Fund, and academic chairs at Sorbonne University.
Projects encompass practice-led investigations exhibited at Biennale di Venezia, Manifesta, Liverpool Biennial, and performances at Royal Opera House, Opéra National de Paris, Wiener Staatsoper, La Scala. Collaborative research outputs have been presented at conferences such as International Conference on Artistic Research, European Academy of Music and Arts Symposium, and published in venues tied to Routledge, Palgrave Macmillan, Springer, Cambridge University Press. Thematic programs address curatorial experiments involving Serpentine Galleries, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, ICA London, Fondazione Prada, and involve residencies at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Villa Medici, CCA Glasgow.
Strategic partners include universities and cultural institutions like University of the Arts London, Royal College of Art, ETH Zurich, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, British Library, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Nationalmuseum Stockholm, Rijksmuseum, and networks such as ELIA and ECA. Cross-border research labs have worked with technology partners linked to MIT Media Lab, TNO, Fraunhofer Society, and corporations participating in initiatives at CES, SXSW, and festivals including MUTEK.
The network's influence is visible through awards and acknowledgements at Turner Prize, Golden Lion, Praemium Imperiale, Ars Electronica Prix, and through citations in reports by European Commission initiatives and policy dialogues involving Council of Europe. Alumni and contributors have gained fellowships at institutions such as Villa Medici, Villa Kujoyama, DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program and have exhibited at Whitney Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, Victoria and Albert Museum.
Challenges include sustaining funding from entities like Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, European Cultural Foundation, navigating regulations influenced by Brexit outcomes, and addressing mobility constraints affecting artists from regions connected to Western Balkans, Eastern Partnership, and Nordic Council. Future directions emphasize deeper ties with research infrastructures such as CLARIN, DARIAH, enhanced engagement with curatorial platforms like Art Basel, Frieze, and expanded partnerships with academic publishers including Elsevier, Taylor & Francis.
