researchandwaves

Research and Waves is an artistic research project and collective that explores the space between curatorial practice and artistic methodology. We aim to draw enriching connections and create a conversation between art, music, technology and society through experimental events and presentation formats in the context of art and culture. 

Within our artistic and curatorial research practice we take the concept of the wave as an element of connection that can aid in investigating experiences of contemporary society across a variety of disciplines and contexts. One can generally describe a wave as the expanding vibration or fluctuation of an entity that is both dependent on time and space. The wave as the sound on a record, a social or political movement, a spatial phenomenon. 

Working with artists and experts from many different fields, Research and Waves creates spaces where people and their work come together in conversation and draw new and unforeseen connections. 
We see networking as a central part of our practice and we aim to facilitate ongoing relationships with (and between) our local and global collaborators. Our past contributors have included artists, designers, writers, DJs, musicians, tattooers, journalists, programmers, dancers and scientists.   

Research and Waves is currently developed by Maria Karpushina, Gustavo Méndez Lopez, Norman Neumann and Henrik Nieratschker and supported by a number of changing collaborators and institutions.
