Publisher's Synopsis
In the context of current debates on artistic methods of inquiry, the project 'AR - Artistic Research' aimed to take up visionary artist, designer and MIT professor György Kepes' call for art on a civic scale, which appraises the specific potential of artistic examination and intervention in the urban environment. This publication serves as a memorandum on Kepes' insistence that artistic research be approached holistically, and that the knowledge it produces be placed on the same level as scientific research.
