The University of the Arts Bremen (HfK Bremen), together with partner universities, is organizing a lecture series as part of its binational artistic-scientific PhD program, in which the lines of connection between artistic practice and application-oriented research as well as theoretical reflections from various professional perspectives will be addressed. The lecture series will take place from October to February in Speicher XI. Admission is free.
Since 2020, the university has offered the opportunity to do a doctorate within the framework of the art- and science-based binational doctoral program. In this context, the HfK Bremen cooperates with Leiden University (Academy of Creative and Performing Arts and in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts The Hague) and the University of Groningen (together with Minerva Art Academy Groningen) as well as the University of Gothenburg (with HDK-Valand - Academy of Art and Design). Further collaborations are in preparation.
The English-language lecture series "Becoming Entangled II" is aimed at an interested professional audience and is a joint project of the universities and art colleges. The focus is on the links between practice in art and theory, which have an immanent role in the PhD program. "Becoming Entangled II" also has a special focus on materials, connecting the contributions within the lecture series. Questions about their role in the artistic and theoretical creative process and the way they are used, analyzed, and further developed in the context of the various artistic research projects are at the center. Methods, strategies and tools are shown - among other things also by discussing the work in the workshops of the art universities.
"The lecture series 'Becoming Entangled ' is an expression of looking at, questioning and ultimately thinking further about the connections and areas of tension that lie in the meeting of art/design and science," said Prof. Dr. Andrea Sick, Vice Rector for Artistic Research and International Affairs at the University of the Arts Bremen.
By combining applied research, artistic practice, theoretical-scientific foundation and individual support, the binational artistic-scientific PhD program makes an important contribution to the broad-based discussions on artistic research. The PhD students qualify for a future career at precisely these innovative interfaces. The focus is on artistic-creative practice in connection with scientific work. This forms the basis for the doctoral project, the resulting research activities and new ways of knowing and understanding.
Program of the lecture series
On October 27, 2022, Prof. Dr. Ann Sophie Lehmann and Vanessa Bakhuizen-van 't Hoogt from the University of Groningen will speak on "Workshop Epistemologies. Research Methods for Studying Making. "
The lecture presents the research project Curious Hands. Moving Making to the Core of Education (2019-2025), funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). The methods developed to investigate the epistemological ecology of workshops in the art academy will be explained, as well as the theories that frame them. Based on data collected over the past three years in workshops of Art Academy Minerva in Groningen, ethnographic and art-based methods will be shown and discussed. In addition, data collected during a recent visit to several workshops in the art academy in Bremen and preliminary ideas for a comparative approach in the project will be presented.

The second lecture will take place on December 9, 2022 and is entitled "In my Experience:The personal in academic research. " The lecture will be given by Prof. Dr. Jessica Hemmings from HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg.
Expectations of objectivity and rigor are often at odds with creative projects driven by intuition and instinct. This lecture considers some of the taboos of academic research and argues for a more generous recognition of the place of the personal.

To conclude the lecture series, Linde Ex from the University of Groningen will come to Bremen and give a lecture on the topic "Land-shapes, sooth-scapes" on February 9, 2023.
In this lecture, Linde Ex will share information about a project on salt marsh landscapes in England, Scotland and the Netherlands. The lecture will occur in connection with a workshop that revolves around recognizing, collecting and connecting forms in the land as an artistic method.

About the University of the Arts Bremen / Hochschule für Künste Bremen
Around 1,000 students from more than 50 countries, 89 professors, 83 staff members in administration and over 150 teaching associates make the University of the Arts Bremen (HfK) a vibrant place.
The HfK is a university of seeming opposites. While deeply rooted in the region, the institution is extremely international in its basic orientation. The HfK is spread out over a number of locations throughout the city with significant differences among them, ranging from classicist to floating to contemporary. The HfK is an art university and a university of music at the same time. These parameters form the foundations of the university and create a framework that allows to strengthen artistic development among its students on a collective, as well as on the individual level.
The range of studies offered include Fine Arts, Integrated Design, Digital Media, as well as Musical Education for Artists and Teachers. Since 2020, the HfK also offers a post-graduate program of study, an art- and science-based PhD program with a special focus on Integrated Design and Digital Media.
Open courses, shared conduct of exams, as well as work stores, studios and projects on specific themes all are focused on fostering dialogue and collaborations. With some 400 events annually the HfK is a pillar of cultural and communal life in the City of Bremen.
The relationships among members of the university community, their multi-facetted collaborations, the close knit support provided to students by faculty and staff, as well as the plethora of regional and international cooperations help students grow into strong and distinct personalities. All of this produces works with high impacts on society at large.
