Abstract or Description

Research and art/s production practices are modes of thought already in the act. Contemporary arts practices call us to think anew, through remaking the world materially and relationally. Building on this ethos of practice as thought already in the act, this Special Issue responds to the increased attention being paid to the intra-action, diffraction and spaces between, practice and research, practice and theory. The aim of this collection is to shift the focus from the subject and/or the object to their entanglement and the action between. It is also to examine how, not only are we always with/in bodies, we are always with matter. So, not only do we make matter and meaning, it also makes us; we are entangled, co-implicated in the generation and formation of knowing and being. This collection works these intra- actions of bodies with matter, theory with practice, practice with research, to develop new approaches and bring together a collective knowledge and understanding of these activities.
