‘Artistic Research in Situ’ (ARiS) is an interdisciplinary minor for students from all disciplines of the arts (including design and art education) and other disciplines from HBO (higher education and universities of applied sciences in the arts), offered by the Maastricht Institute of Arts (Zuyd University of Applied Science) in the Netherlands in collaboration with the research centre What Art Knows. The aim is, on the one hand, to develop artistic research methods and skills for students who have had little or no introduction to these yet (broadening), and, on the other hand, to deepen artistic research on site for students who want to further develop and implement such methods and skills in their artistic practice (deepening). In this cross-training research module, the connection with the environment in situ is central. It focuses in particular on the complex, layered (geologically, historically, socially, culturally, ecologically) ENCI area. The purpose of this module is to examine the field in a bottom-up approach: from its extant opportunities and possibilities (bricolage) to an elaboration in concrete, site-engaged art. Walking and sensory methods are used to investigate this complex layered landscape from different perspectives, to (re)map the area, to formulate questions and to activate the area in the transformation process towards the future.
The transformations cover the following areas:
1. Development and Research,
2. Industry and People,
3. Nature and Ecology.
These themes involve collaboration with parties who have conducted previous research in the area and who have developed special artistic and/or ethnographic methods for researching these types of areas and subjects. This, with the intention that students become acquainted with and learn about the complex layered ENCI area, learn different research skills, be able to formulate their own research questions and most importantly: develop their own research trajectory from the outset (relevant to their own field and practice) within the aforementioned research frameworks. It is important that the students have a collaborative attitude within their research and are willing to share their research results. The final results of research and work will be presented at the end of the period in words and images, and shown via a research log and website.

Content
The minor or training module Artistic Research in Situ (ARiS) is interdisciplinary and both
broadening and deepening. Broadening in the sense that it is open to students who want to develop
artistic research as a method for their own practice, and in-depth for those students who have
already been in contact with artistic research and want to develop and implement this further in
their artistic practice. It is a cross-programme arts-wide module (i.e. Visual Communication,
Architecture, interdisciplinary Arts and other disciplines such as Theatre etc.) and also a connecting
module between the Fine Arts, Design and Education programmes, which anticipates future
collaborative and synergetic programmes for the Maastricht Institute of Arts. The collaboration with
iArts (the Maastricht Institute of interdisciplinary Arts) specifically agendised collaboration by
defining ARiS as one of its Spectrum project options for 2nd year students. However, ARiS is also
open to other curriculums, both within Zuyd Universities and beyond (in the Netherlands, Europe
and beyond).
As said, in this research module, which is offered in 10 weeks in period 3 (February – April, academic year 2022-2023), the connection with the environment (in situ), and in particular the ENCI area, is central focus. This unique area forms the basis for new research methods from the arts, and in particular walking and other sensory methods to explore, map and reflect on complex, layered landscapes (such as the ENCI area). The ENCI area is marked by years of a transformation process, which, rooted in history – the marl excavation and cement/clinker production from 1926 – has drastically changed the landscape, but paradoxically has also resulted in special scientific research and nature development. This has led, among other things, to the discovery of the first, but also the last Mosasaurus 'Lars'. Furthermore, the area also hosts a special species of fly. But also a variety of artists has conducted research in the area in recent years, such as in the 'TRANSITION ZONE' project (https://overgangszone.nl/ ). The cement industry of the location closed down definitively a few years ago, and the environment was designated to become a ‘new nature area’. The challenge is how this might be developed further. Different parties have different frames of perception of the area, different notions of nature, different notions of the identity of the area. Not infrequently this has revealed paradoxical situations, and many different interests play a role in this until nowadays. However, these parties and interests are important for the research and can play an important role as 'external client' or public.
It is the explicit intention of this module not to enter into any political position, but to explore the area bottom-up from its initial opportunities and possibilities. To this end, walking and sensory methods are used to investigate this complex layered landscape from different perspectives, to map the area, formulate questions and activate the area in the transformation process towards the future. These transformations cover the following areas: 1. Development and Research, 2. Industry and People, and 3. Nature and Ecology. Various types of knowledge productions are used, including embodied and local knowledge, and last but not least the art itself as knowledge production. This involves collaboration with parties who have conducted previous research in the area and who have developed special artistic and/or ethnographic methods for researching these types of areas and subjects.
Students are provided with research frameworks and methods and are encouraged to develop their own methods and develop their own research trajectory. From the outset, students are challenged to do their own research and create work, which is also supervised by a number of (guest) lecturers. In addition, almost weekly walking lecture series (the so-called ENCI-WALKS) are provided by various guest lecturers and experts (science/art/design/education and stakeholders), who shed light on the area from the different perspectives mentioned above. Central is a workshop on location organised by the artist duo Esther Polak and Ivar van Bekkum, in which the ENCI-quarry as performative object is central focus. Students actively participate in this and work together. This workshop is also open for other students of Zuyd till a max. of 15 participants.
In addition, students formulate their own research questions and keep a research log, which is evaluated on a weekly basis. Both a personal and a collective logbook are developed from the outset, included in the process and supervised, and serve as an important reflective source for individual and collective research and work. The students also show a collaborative attitude within their research and the willingness to share their research results and develop them into a presentation (relevant to their field) that shows the embodiment of their research. Finally, the students work on a joint publication, in which their findings and results are presented. This publication will be organically maintained on the website of 'TRANSITION ZONE', but will also be bundled in a paper version in due course. This creates a 'Living Archive', with which we also want to clarify the final goals of the module. Students are guided throughout the process by the aforementioned (guest) lecturers and Krien Clevis. Two additional guest lecturers (Fine Arts, Design and Education) are also deployed for educational supervision from their own department. Krien Clevis is primarily responsible and chief educational supervisor for the entire research in situ. She teaches and supervises all candidates on a weekly basis. The own research and developed work are presented during the assessment of Block 3 in the form of a kind of workshop/public moment, organised by the students.

1. Tutorials, walking research and presentations of the research: organising (bi)weekly ENCI WALKS
on the subject
2. Developing your own research trajectory, which arises from your own questions, doing and making
3. Reflection talks and personal teaching support (on site and/or online): Krien Clevis (Artistic Research, main responsible) and others. Weekly evaluation of research log
4. Central workshop in the ENCI area, in which students actively participate
5. Presentation of the students own research and work in an appropriate form
6. Documentation of the students own research log and on the website.
Ad 1: Lecture series/ENCI WALKS in which the ENCI area serves as a basis for new research methods from the arts, and in particular walking and other sensory methods to explore and to map complex, layered landscapes (such as the ENCI area) to convey and reflect on. Including: Froukje de Boer (artist, MA Cartographies of the Vanishing Now, Den Bosch), Dr. Riyan van den Born (associate professor Socio-Ecological interactions and studies human-nature relationships, Radboud University Nijmegen; Director of the Centre Connecting Humans and Nature), Prof.dr. Ernst Homburg (emeritus professor of history of science and technology, Maastricht University), Dr. John Jagt (paleontologist and curator of The Natural History Museum Maastricht), Dr. Joep Orbons (archaeologist lime quarries Zuid Limburg), Dr. Wim Peumans (writer/anthropologist), Joep Vossebeld (curator/ writer/artist and artistic director of the Odapark Venray (L)), Dr. Roy Erkens (biologist) and Dr. John Sloggett (botanist) from the Maastricht University and Natuurmonumenten. Under the supervision of Martine de Rooij (researcher/coach, ethnographic methods), Dr. Marike Hoekstra (researcher art education), Dr. Krien Clevis (artist/researcher/curator) and with the cooperation of the Lectorate What Art Knows (http://lectoraataok.nl/english/ , Maastricht Institute of Arts).
Ad 2: Highest priority, in addition to the range of walks and workshops has going out and looking yourself, conducting active research yourself and immediately developing work right from the start. Precisely by doing and making/trying/experimenting yourself, an active and reflective attitude is created right from the start and contributes to positive development (individual and group).
Ad 3: Teaching/Reflection talks by the following lecturers:
Martine de Rooij (researcher/coach, ethnographic methods),
Dr. Marike Hoekstra (education/research),
Dr. Krien Clevis (main responsible for ARiS, interdisciplinary research).
Research logs, both individual and collective, are reviewed weekly. The collective research log is evaluated every Monday prior to the walk. After the walks, students experiences are discussed, both in groups and individually. On the Monday days when no walks take place, the students are supervised at the academy/at their studio.
Ad. 4: Central Workshop led by the artist duo Esther Polak and Ivar van Bekkum, in which the ENCI-quarry as performative object is central focus. In this 3-days workshop students will try out the ways in which they can approach the landscape, in this case the Transition Zone, through movement. Then they will look at which performative act they can use to create a new reality together with the landscape. Students actively participate in this workshop. This workshop is also open for other students of Zuyd till a max. of 15 participants.
Ad 5: During the assessment of the module (week 17), the students present their own research and work that they have developed during the minor. The presentation takes place in an adequate form that fits the interest and field of work of the student (presentation, performance, workshop, etc.).
Re 6: The students must properly document their own research process by keeping a weekly logbook in words and images. In addition, work is being done on a collective research log, which contains joint questions and shows a reflexive group spirit. The research results and the joint log are published on the website.
N.B. In principle, the students follow practically every week (8 weeks) 1 to 2 walks from 1 or 2 different guest lecturers (fixed at 1 day) = 3 hours, + 1 hr. preliminary meeting and 1 hrs. debriefing (KC) = 5 h. per student/week. Furthermore, the students participate in the central workshop for three days = max. 24 hours/period. Finally, the students have educational guidance from Krien Clevis (supplemented by the two regular guest lecturers) = 30 min. per student/week, and 1 Monday in the week that no walks take place. During two moments, weeks 10 and 16, presentations by the students will take place, on which they will receive feedback. Total student hours = max. 14h/week. The module is designed in such a way that students have maximum time to develop and carry out their own research and work.
