holt journal for artistic research

Dana Ariel, Sarah Fortais, and Dawn Gaietto co-founded the peer review journal, holt journal for artistic research in spring 2022. After much deliberation, we collectively decided to name the journal holt. In its various meanings and nuances, holt refers to a place, a mound, or a raised piece of forested earth. holt also means the burrowed lair of an animal or the den of an otter, thus relating to a sense of home and habitation. holt as a journal draws upon these connotations to offer a place to nurture artistic and practice-led research. Our mission is for holt to become a virtual platform, a natural home, and a vital inhabited space for artistic research to be shared and archived over time.
In the myriad landscape of journals that provide space for literary work in the arts and humanities, we find that artistic and practice-led research as disciplines require a platform and a space that gives voice to research that is situated in artistic practice. We aim for holt to become a space to share artistic methods and methodologies through words and images, by recognising the importance of the visual language as a research method and as means for inquiry and experimentation. &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; 

holt aims specifically to nurture the research of early career practitioners; to grow research into vivid forms for dissemination and to render visible new pathways for interdisciplinary connection. We differentiate holt within the larger ecosystem of research journals, by encouraging our submissions to develop experimental means of communicating their research to a wider, non-specialist audience. This experimentation may at times challenge the confines of the A4 page, reconfiguring relationships between text and images, and creatively translating the purpose and function of the original research in a lively way that leads to new inquiries. 

holt is about creating a platform for generating conversations, and supporting the transition between making and disseminating. holt is an active space for artistic research to speak for itself in new forms to new audiences and above all, it is a space for experimentation, interconnectivity and dialogue.

Issue One

Methodologies
	




	Introduction
holt journal for artistic research was co-founded in Spring 2022 with the intent of creating a platform for practice-led research that is situated in artistic practice. This practice-led research is a relatively new form of research that according to Estelle Barrett “... draws on subjective, interdisciplinary and emergent methodologies that have the potential to extend the frontiers of research.”1 It is therefore no coincidence that the common thread in the papers included in our first issue focus on the exploration and development of diverse creative arts research methodologies. In this publication we aim to share not only the outcomes of artistic research but the processes, reflections and methodologies through which these outcomes emerged. This issue aims to contribute to the growing debate and understanding of artistic practice and its capacity to share practice-led experiential and situated methods of knowledge production.

Our first issue entitled Methodologies presents a series of five works. Each of these works explores an emergent methodology situated in artistic practice and provides the context for the contribution to knowledge. Methodology, or the development of methodology, is central to the artist as researcher. In this dual role, the artist/researcher inhabits/embodies their situatedness and develops a methodology specific to the enquiry at hand. “What knowledge can studio based enquiry reveal that may not be revealed by other modes of enquiry?” is a question posed by Estelle Barrett, which this issue seeks to address through a selection of curated papers.2
The methodologies featured in this issue have been developed by creative practitioners working across different fields of enquiry, but what they have in common is the creative means of sharing their research through an exegesis (the writing with and around) of the practice. The exegesis develops alongside the practice through studio-based enquiry and reflection, it emerges in tandem and forms an integral part of the artistic research process. The exegesis does not solely explain the practice but also works to present a context for the knowledge created through practice. Neither are presented alone but work in tandem to allow an experience of the practice on the page alongside images and links to sound and video documentation, offering a more rounded and situated experience of the artistic research. . .

Perhaps this scheme will enable us to hear more often from each other
A poetic spatial-visual-sonic journey
Asher Arnon
	




	The work Perhaps this scheme will enable us to hear more often from each other is the major of four audiovisual compositions of an interdisciplinary practice-based PhD research portfolio. The research –&#38;nbsp;Visual Music Strategies and the Sense of Place – explores concepts and creative methods by relating strategies of visual music to the notion of sense of place within a broader inquiry regarding place representation by spatial, visual and sonic means. Conceived and realised as a large-scale audiovisual installation,&#38;nbsp;Perhaps this scheme&#38;nbsp;demonstrates varying angles of the research regarding issues of space, time, place, situation and being. It also suggests a new way to tell stories of places by fusion of a documentary journey narrative with music-oriented compositional approaches embedded within an installation setup. 

The work contributes to existing practical and theoretical knowledge relevant to the disciplines it encompasses. From the sense of place angle, it demonstrates diverse possibilities of employing visual music considerations in audiovisual representations of places. From the visual music perspective, in its explicit documentary and referential approach, the work challenges traditional conceptions of visual music as an abstract nonrepresentational artform, thus adding to its discourse and palette of practical application.

	Tail of the Real:

A Visual Response to the Chained Woman in Xuzhou

Charlotte Yao

	




	In February 2021, the story of a mother of eight children found chained in a shack with single layered cloth in the winter went viral on the Chinese social network. Despite the outraged and terrified response towards this seeming human-trafficking, forced pregnancy, and imprisonment crime, the government’s handling of this incident was rather frustrating. Numerous investigation reports issued by police were questioned, iron walls were pulled up around the village to bar investigators, hashtags about this incident were removed, and reporters and activists were caught. As similar cases happen again and again, how to survive under such turmoil becomes an urgent concern. My practice examines ways of establishing empathetic connections through covert communication channels in the midst of such predicament both to support and to confront. Working with moving image, this research by practice project utilises appropriation and montage as methods to explore narratives of constraint, fear, violence and freedom through a feminist lens. Found video clips sourced from YouTube are cut and layered with sound and voice to create powerful, emotive fragments – a plane flaps its wings and falls gracefully from the sky in slow motion, grasped without a sound in the midst of fear. Although the establishment of empathic connections through covert communication channels is a relatively passive form of resistance, it helps to get messages out under the censorship and stigmatisation enforced by patriarchal authoritarian parties, fostering solidarity and support.

THE GLACIER and LISTENING 



Excerpts from a river beneath a river

	I wrote this book in the past year which is a collection of writings in my journey from the source of a river to its mouthing by foot. But also the journey in reading and writing about ecological awareness and my changing relationship to natural environments. It is a practice-led research on my love for being in the water as well as ‘within sound’, the comparison between those two and how water can connect humans to other than human life forms. The book is a translation of the research I have been undertaking as well as part of the performance in which I with a few fellow performers try to mimick and respond to the sounds I recorded on the walk. This performance constituted of different speakers directed to the audience, that at specific, short moments resounded the sounds we were listening to on our headphones.

	This paper draws together the seemingly disparate practices of painting, field recording and music transcription. We suggest that these exploratory, practice based research methodologies can be used to reveal, listen to and deepen the materiality of “intra-actions” that these practices comprise (Barad, 2007). We seek to embody this through a co-authored iteration of our combined process that highlights material practices and dialogue emerging from our research community.Ben Dixon, Ben McDonnell and Molly Pardoe met on the Art Practice and Learning PhD programme at Goldsmiths University, London. Through sharing a studio, performing crits and speaking conferences together they are starting to articulate the individual elements of the practice through a meta dialogue around practice, new materialism, looking and listening.

Critical Gothic Authorship, a New Methodology
Devin Tupper



	In an increasingly digital world, authorship is unstable, blurred, and transmissible. Global policing and disorderliness of online texts invite anxieties of self-censorship and identity as authors navigate increased exposure and vulnerability from the integration of digital spaces into their professional lives. As technology reconstructs authorship, the Gothic, as a mode of addressing transgressions, becomes productive. I therefore propose a new methodology, in which authorship reflects on itself and technologies’ growing impact on its practice, as a means to interrogate this growing discourse. I am calling this new methodology Critical Gothic Authorship. Critical Gothic Authorship expands the Gothic beyond Gothic texts as a creative-critical expressive mode capable of assessing multiple artistic expressions while evaluating the relationships between technology, the authorial mind and body. Reconsidering Gothic authorship through a creative critical lens, in the form of a Gothic novel, therefore can account for the fragmentary nature and haunting qualities of the digital 21st century authorial voice, while providing a template to interrogate contemporary authorship’s new disorder.

Situations

	Introduction
&#38;nbsp;holt journal for artistic research is a platform for sharing practice-led research carried out through artistic practice. In the second issue entitled Situations, we consider the situatedness of artistic practice and how artists/researchers engage with places, spaces and sites to investigate, situate and share their research. The term situations offers a range of interpretations and applications relevant to the discourse of artistic practice as research, which we seek to examine through the following propositions: the exploration of artistic agency in particular places, the situations or circumstances instigating artistic inquiry and experimentations, and the context in which artistic practice is situated. Of particular significance in this issue are reflections on the social, political or cultural resonance of artistic research, from which it is derived and how it seeks to leave its mark.

 Whilst holt shares in this issue contributions from artist researchers who unpack the diverse interpretations for the term situations, it also seeks to examine, over time and through various perspectives, the situatedness of practice-led research through artistic practice in the vast ecosystem of the research environment. The term situation, which is derived from the medieval Latin word situare – ‘to place’, offers an opportunity to position and bring together contributions from artistic research that could emphasise the interdisciplinarity and significance of these emerging methodologies.

 Relevant for this issue is Estelle Barrett’s work to identify what distinguishes creative art practice as research.1 She draws on the writings of Donna Haraway in Situated Knowledges, who highlights the partiality in objectivity and argues for modes of knowledge production that do not pretend to be from everywhere and therefore from nowhere, but that are rather situated and speak from specific bodies and places that form earth-wide connections.2 Barrett sees in Haraway’s argument a model that mirrors artistic practice as research, and which its features she unpacks here: &#38;nbsp; 

 This mode of knowledge production acknowledges the particular, the subjective and the personal as important aspects of enquiry; it articulates the notion of ethical or embodied forms of observation – ways of looking and being accountable for knowledge claims that do not deny the agency of the objects of research – in particular human participants; it is a mode that replaces traditional notions of objectivity with the idea of situated knowledge and partial objectivity; finally it asserts the potential of situated and partial knowledge for forging webs of connections – identifying for whom, how and where else knowledge can be put to use.3

It is through these approaches of embodied and emergent practices that we seek to visit situations and situatedness in artistic research and highlight the relationality and fluid positioning explored by artists researchers. With this in mind, we are presenting papers that range from examining situations in concrete to abstract notions. This could entail the sites and their socio-political significance, the material sites of making or the transformation of specific sites to become both the subject of inquiry and site for experimentations and interventions.

Using a case study, this paper focuses on the role of the memorial bench and how its design and position in the landscape affects the people who interact with it. From prompting memories to shaping them and providing a place to sit and appreciate a specific view, the memorial bench has more impact on the landscape, and our lives, than we realise.
