Research For People Who (Think They) Would Rather Create

Synopsis

Written specifically for artists, Research for Artists offers a practical guide to developing, organizing, and communicating research across creative disciplines. From defining a research question and building an argument to structuring written work, incorporating visual material, using quotations, and sharing ideas with wider audiences, Dirk Vis presents the essential tools for artistic research in a clear and accessible way.

Designed for students, artists, and creative practitioners, the book bridges the gap between academic research and artistic practice. Practical, engaging, and thoughtfully structured, it demonstrates how research can become an integral part of the creative process rather than a separate academic exercise.
