Research Projects & Publications

Research Areas

The artist-researcher is at the intersection of theory and practice – breaking down barriers between and combining creative doing with reflexive being. Practice-as-research at its best is not just a combination of creative practice and theoretical research, but rather a practice that embodies research. As such, practice-as-research practitioners are often forward-looking auteurs, pioneers, inventors and influencers simultaneously artistic and scientific, systematic, and instinctive, and they know no boundaries. A selection of research projects undertaken by LASALLE staff during their service in the College is listed below.
