At its core, the practice of creating sound installations as sonic art involves presenting and manipulating audio in a gallery-like setting. In the case of "La Sinfonía de Babel" the usage of pre-existing musical and literary phrases, or "quoting," formulates the substantive basis for a non-interactive quadraphonic piece that challenges preconceptions of appropriation, citation, and plagiarism where it concerns composition. Inspired by the works “Sinfonia” by Italian composer Luiciano Berio, and “La Biblioteca de Babel” by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, "La Sinfonía de Babel" recontextualizes conventional ideas of musical narratives by combining and indeterminately presenting excerpts of six hundred and forty looped musical works from different time periods, thus generating a thick and immersive cluster of audio. Within this milieu, auditors are invited to sit and read Borges’ text whilst simulataneously identifying musical familiarities within the cluster, hence experiencing quoting on a multi-dimensional level. This paper offers a methodological and aesthetic overview of Berio and Borges' works, focusing specifically on how citation is approached from musical and literary perspectives. Furthermore, structural and technical methodologies are analyzed as a means of better understanding the overarching creative process.

Cultural Layers

In the relative comfort of my UK living room, a passive spectator of TV news, I watch fleeting images of appalling suffering and devastation emanating from the war in Syria. The coverage of the bombing of Aleppo (2015) is heart-rending. I turn to art in response, to slow the disappearance of visual images and to counter my sense of remove. This begins as self-activism, drawing/painting-as-inquiry, in combination with journal writing. As the work progresses, portraits burst out of the sketchbook and claim space to speak for themselves, demanding a place in the wider world, their own artivism. What they communicate to each viewer will vary—a commentary on war, on a country’s response to migration, or a call to action for what might be different? The inquiry moves through personal and cultural layers of a creative process to question what art does, and what it fails to do, in the context of this project and activism. Art’s potential, through the acts of looking and making, to affect is central to the sequence of encounters (connections and disconnections), which are examined here.

Paper Abstract

The author explores the process of healing through the use of artistic writing activities in a journal, which promote self-discovery. Techniques that involve art making and writing are shared, such as collaborative drawing and writing, ekphrasis, hand-made journals, mandala drawing, marble paper abstract drawing, and sensory printing. Through artistic design, the journey to better understand the self is addressed, emphasizing management of everyday stresses such as those stemming from relationships, roles, and change. Managing these stresses leads towards a healthy life by providing a balance between creative drive and daily obligations. Guided exercises using various media are explained. The process is emphasized, not the end product or artistic merit of the creation. It is through this creative process that tension and stress are released and the joy of discovery becomes a part of life. Individuality is valued through thoughtful reflection of the activities that are embedded in artistic design journals.

Women Researchers

In this paper, I consider not only issues associated with the positionality of the researcher in international and comparative education fieldwork, but also how the researcher’s gender intercedes and intersects with position. Using heuristic research methods, specifically (self-)dialogue and the collection of research manuscripts, I explored how women researchers describe their experiences conducting international fieldwork and how they position their work as insiders/outsiders. Findings suggest that women struggled less with their insider/outsider stance than they did with a researcher/practitioner stance. Additionally, women spoke of gender as being associated with their bodies, perceptions of their bodies by participants and others, and how this positioned them in the field. Important, challenging questions emerged related to how we train women researchers, the homogeneity of the field of international and comparative education, and using gender norms to gain access to participants.

This article is the result of a critical reflection on an experience integrated in a lifelong learning project carried out in Portugal during 2017-2018. The project called ‘Circle’ was funded by the European Union and aimed at the acquisition of basic skills by people from disadvantaged communities. This reflection was conducted using art-based research methodologies, which helped to systematize and interpret the data collected in the two communities in Portugal. The Portuguese ‘Circle’ experience had forty-six adult participants who participated in workshops where relational situations were created using techniques such as typography; silk printing; illustration; sound and digital editing. The authors present the results that helped to facilitate si-tuations through images, objects and affections that intertwined all participants in a common le-arning

Depth Interviews

Since the beginning of time art-making has been a tool to express, preserve, and challenge the extant knowledge in society. Artists do this by finding or creatively constructing new understandings in society. An artist is able to do this through the medium he/she uses to relay the message of the artwork. The medium that an artist uses to express his/her artistic concept has an impact on the character that the artwork will take. The medium of expression forms but one of the many considerations that go through an artist’s mind when creating art. In the process of art-making, an artist seeks to create new meanings or re-imagine old ones by organizing materials and concepts. In so doing, he/she discovers novel ways to get ideas across, and thereby creates new interpretations of social phenomena. In this article, attention is given to meaning-making as a conscious and iterative component of creating art. From a series of in-depth interviews, the authors analyze the inward processes that occur within six artists’ creative praxes and how these lead their construction of meaning. Attention is also paid to how the artists manipulate concepts and how they construct and deconstruct their understandings of these concepts in the course of their creative endeavors.

Research Type

In fine arts, creating artworks need doing research. The research has many types. Mostly, it is not the scientific research type. But, nowadays, scientific research is commonly implementing in creating artworks too. It is important to know the various researchs in creating artworks, so it could be able to understand how research has the significant role in creating artworks. This study examines the research in creating artworks through comparation of 3 case studies of fine art exhibitions; (1) the creative process of water color painting exhibition Climen by Surya Wirawan in 2012 which the process held for 4 years (2008-2012), (2) the painting exhibition Melupa by Ugo Untoro in 2013 which the process held for 13 years (2000-2013), (3) the art project Tentang Hutan by gerimisUngu Production 2014 which the process held for 4 years (2011-2014). Each of those 3 creative process has different type of research, methods, and period, artworks as the output, experience of the artist whom get involved, and certain location in Indonesia. These 3 case studies describe that the research in creating artworks can be scientific with fully consideration, or semiscientific in consideration, or unscientific between consideration and uncosideration. And, the certain research implemented in creating artworks is related to the artist (individual and cultural), purpose of the artworks and exhibition, and content of the artworks which appointed.

Preliminary Study

ABSTRAK Tulisan ini adalah studi pendahuluan atas fenomena Kantor Teater Jakarta (KTJ), sebuah kelompok teater yang menolak keberadaan sutradara dalam setiap proses kreatifnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif untuk merekam perjalanan kreatif KTJ dalam perspektif teori habitus Pierre Bourdieu. Studi ini menggambarkan awal perjalanan kreatif KTJ yang penuh dengan 'pengalaman rasa sakit', sering mengalami keterbatasan ruang dan penolakan dari masyarakat, dan juga sering menghadapi para petugas keamanan yang kerap mengebiri kreativitas mereka. Keterbatasan ruang, keglamoran dan eksklusivitas gedung dan pertunjukan teater di Indonesia membuat mereka merumuskan konsep 'teater portabel'. KTJ menghadapi eksklusivitas keglamoran itu dengan 'melemparkan tubuh aktor keluar dari panggung' dan membuat panggung teater mereka sendiri di jalanan. Melalui cara ini KTJ dapat pentas di mana pun mereka ingin.Kata Kunci : Kantor Teater Jakarta, menolak sutradara, glamoritas, eksklusifisme, teater jalanan, habitus This paper is a preliminary study of the phenomenon of the Kantor Teater Jakarta (KTJ), a theatre group that rejects the existence of a director in every creative process. This study uses qualitative research methods to record KTJ's creative journey in the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu's habitus theory. This study describes the beginning of KTJ's creative journey that is full of 'painexperiences', often experiences limited space and opposition from the community, and also often confronts ecurity officers who often castrate their creativity. Space limitations, glamorous, and exclusivity of theatre and performances in Indonesia made them formulate the concept of 'portabletheatre'. KTJ faces this glamorous exclusivity by 'throwing the actors bodies out of the stage' and making their own theatre on the streets. In this way KTJ can perform wherever they want. Keywords: Kantor Teater Jakarta, theatre group, rejecting directors, street theatre, habitus.
