Action Research September 6-11, 2003


Kunstuniversität Linz

www.forschungsgruppe-f.org

Students taking an experimental lab at the School of Art and Design Zurich’s Department of Photography set up this research group in 2000. An expanded investigation of the circumstances in which images are organized and displayed, and how they are received by those viewing them made in necessary to question prevailing conditions and to process the results of this inquiry in the sense of performing action research. This open working group is made up of students at various institutions of higher education; it works in project-oriented fashion with a variety of different media.
For the exhibition *Iconoclash – Beyond the War of Images in Science, Religion and Art* presented in 2002 at the Center for Art and Media Technology (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, Germany, forschungsgruppe_f developed a contribution in the form of a temporary lab and office from which situational interventions into the exhibition were undertaken. The rituals and codes of displaying and viewing works as well as the consensuses and conflicts of opinion resulting from these activities were investigated and questioned with active involvement by visitors to the exhibition.
