In this photo essay, I enact how a creative pedagogue engages with artistic practice and contemplative inquiry. As a poet, at home in words, photography represents a creative risk. This vulnerability is felt in the sharing of the work through the lens of (re)search. Hence, I ask: Does it have wings? By delving in expressive forms toward the service of understanding my personal and pedagogical self, creative risk is rewarded in profound ways. I have discovered that my art practice is driven by intention, intuition and imagination. Thus, here is my creative pedagogy in action illuminating how an inquiry through images provokes learning and teaching. Both poetry and photography provide keen vision—a way of sensing and seeing Light.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the professional biography of Ethel A. Stephens, examining her career as an artist and a teacher in Sydney between 1890 and 1920. Accounts of (both male and female) artists in this period often dismiss their teaching as just a means to pay the bills. This paper focuses attention on Stephens’ teaching and considers how this, combined with her artistic practice, influenced her students. Design/methodology/approach – Using a fragmentary record of a successful female artist and teacher, this paper considers the role of art education and a career in the arts for respectable middle-class women. Findings – Stephens’ actions and experiences show the ways she negotiated between the public and private sphere. Close examination of her “at home” exhibitions demonstrates one way in which these worlds came together as sites, enabling her to identify as an artist, a teacher and as a respectable middle-class woman. Originality/value – This paper offers insight into the ways women negotiated the Sydney art scene and found opportunities for art education outside of the established modes.

The determination of academic research on the field of the arts education troubling its own artistic practices. It was assumed by clarifying the objective and method of doing the research, art was believed would be contributing to a greater intellectualisation, otherwise it is just an art practice without justification from science, and therefore no contribution worth to human knowledge. Since it contrastive to the nature of artistic practice embodied in the arts itself, which unfortunately not even realize by the artist his/herself. Whilst it is well said by Joseph Kosuth (1971) that: “the artist, not unlike a scientist for whom there is no distinction between working in the laboratory and writing a thesis, has now “to cultivate the conceptual implications of his art propositions, and argue their explication.” This paper is about explicating the writer as the artist himself who done the livedexperience of drawing performs as the research processed. Artists use drawings an activity or a way of understanding the meaning of who we are and how we lived in the world. However, the objective of this research is an exceptional one, it searches for the dual experiences of the researcher as the artist as the instrument who producing the drawing and as the spectators himself welcoming and appreciating as he/she reveals him/ herself capable of wondering. In a particular way, this research is to show that through the making of drawings, the drawing performs lived-experience, that it can be another paradigm so called art-based or artistic research.

This essay identifies the current qualifier of choice, “new media,” by explaining how this term is used to describe digital art in various forms. Establishing a historical context, the author highlights the pioneer exhibitions and artists who began working with new technology and digital art as early as the late 1960s and early 1970s. The article proceeds to articulate the shapes and forms of digital art, recognizing its broad range of artistic practice: music, interactive installation, installation with network components, software art, and purely Internet-based art. The author examines the themes and narratives specific to her selection of artwork, specifically interactive digital installations and net art. By addressing these forms, the author illustrates the hybrid nature of this medium and the future of this art practice.

AbstractThis introduction explores the four main themes of the papers in this special issue: 1) ‘language, languaging and translanguaging’ 2) ‘mobility and space’ 3) ‘transcultural identities’ and 4) ‘institutional and individual constraints on creativity’, and discusses how engagement with these themes helps the authors to move beyond traditional notions of linguistic creativity and creative pedagogy to formulate new ways of imagining creativity in language learning based on encouraging learners to make use of the full range of their semiotic resources and social experiences when communicating.

The framework of this paper identifies various areas affected by the contemporary art practice in cultural landscape. Artistic practice in the landscape introduces new experiences to spectators. The author of this research explores what kinds of places are created by the contemporary art and whether it contributes to making new places. The research examines the identifying process of some features in creating the approach of dynamic landscape, and is carried out in accordance with the methodology of analysis. An approach of critical spatial practice proposed by Jane Rendell is explored through understanding the trialectical thinking. The research incorporates three parts: the spatial, temporal and social being for understanding nexus between an artwork and its settings. Expression means of artworks are analyzed in making the spatial analysis and clarifying the main features of connection. Among other indicators, cognition, place conception, context, refuge, connections, experience and temporality have been studied profoundly to understand the factors possibly influencing the landscape change. Santrauka Staipsnyje pateikiamos įvairios kultūrinį kraštovaizdį palietusios šiuolaikinio meno sritys. Stebint su kraštovaizdžiu susijusią meno praktiką, įgyjama naujos patirties. Darbo autorė tyrinėja šiuolaikinio meno įtaką erdvėms kurti. Tyrimo metu taikant analizės metodą nustatytos tam tikros kuriamo požiūrio į dinamišką kraštovaizdį ypatybės. Jane Rendell pasiūlyta kritinė erdvinė praktika nagrinėjama per trialektinio mąstymo suvokimą. Siekiant suprasti meno kūrinių ir aplinkos santykį, tyrimas buvo atliekamas susiejant erdvės, laiko ir socialinį aspektus. Meno kūrinių raiškos priemonės analizuotos erdvinės analizės būdu, nustatytos pagrindinės kūrinio ir jį supančios aplinkos ryšio savybės. Be kitų rodiklių – gebėjimo pažinti, vietos sampratos, situacijos, prieglobsčio, ryšių, patirties, laikinumo – buvo išsamiai nagrinėjami galimi kraštovaizdžio kaitos veiksniai.

In her article, the author argues that based on Ewa Partum's artistic practice it is possible to speak about a specifically feminist strategy of the avant-garde. In the theory of the avant-garde, a move has been made from the heroic, masculine conceptualizations of art practice and resistance within it toward the non-heroic, weak, and contingent. A theory of weak avant-garde is a summary of these evolutions, inspired by the writings of, amongst others, Walter Benjamin, Jack Halberstam, Vaclav Havel.
