We stand at a pivotal moment in the history and the development of artistic research in Europe, when models of funding, supervision and assessment are under scrutiny. It is vital that we create a public space for displaying and debating artistic research outside the walls of academia.

In 2025, the ARE exhibition will bring to an international arena work that is currently hidden and out of the spotlight. In a hunt for what is peripheral, the aim is to bring visibility to that which lies hidden in academic departments, and to enrich the debate on artistic research. The variety of works on show reflects the wealth of cutting-edge approaches to artistic research in film, documentary, animation and media arts from across Europe. The exhibition offers the viewer a challenging journey, encompassing stories from stray alligators to lost families, hidden archives, fleeting memories, the realms of dreams and of sleep, and peripheral worlds covered in snow.
