Research / Art / Writing (RAW) aims to promote critical, discursive, and creative engagement with global contemporary art and visual cultures. RAW understands art as an expanded field of practice, supporting experimental and interdisciplinary writing.

We wish to provide a home for exciting, necessary, progressive work. We encourage personal approaches combined with articulated methodologies. We are interested in experimental art research: texts that account for positionality, pursuing art’s socio-political effects, while proposing rigorous answers to the question of matching form and content.

RAW invites scholarly and artistic researchers to pursue insights into art’s multiple, including indirect, efficacies. The book series seeks analysis, documentation and discussion of, as well as intervention in, art’s actors and institutions. RAW investigates roles and potentialities of art for social transformation, instituting, and re-conceiving worlds to come.
