Convocation II is a gathering of expanded language-based artistic research, focused on the sharing of “practices.” Convocation — from com ‘with, together’ and vocare ‘to call’. We call for a live “coming together” of artistic researchers whose practices engage with the materiality and mediality of language: from the wordless corporeality of body language to the virtuality of digital text, from the voicing of spoken utterance to the textility of words on a page. Convocation II is conceived as a reciprocal space for creating interconnections with a wider international community of artistic researchers working with language. The focus on language within artistic research is considered from a broad and transforming perspective to include diverse fields such as visual arts, performance, film, theatre, music, choreography as well as literature. The intent is not to define or fix what language-based artistic research is but rather to reflect how it is practised in its diversity. The focus of Convocation II is on language-based artistic research “practices”. We ask: How can we share research “practices”? What new formats and models might be required? What happens as different practices are brought into relation, into dialogue, into proximity? How might we practise together? Convocation II is hosted by the Society of Artistic Research Special Interest Group for Language-based Artistic Research (co-founded by Emma Cocker, Alexander Damianisch, Cordula Daus and Lena Séraphin). It builds upon and extends conversations from Convocation I which took place within the frame of the Research Pavilion, Venice, 2019. Convocation II will create a live and in-person context for further ‘sharing practices’ of language-based artistic research, following publication of two online Practice Sharing presentations in 2020 and 2023.
