This interview looks critically at how the humanities do not just study works of culture but work together with artists. Within the practice of a truly interdisciplinary approach, “artistic research” finds its way into the discussion as it operates at the intersection of many disciplines and as its transversal qualities continuously produce excess to maintain complexity within the given research context. These positions implicate us as researchers in culture and we work with as well as reflect on how these cultures always/already have an impact on our research, teaching, and learning.
