The art or cultural object is endowed with a capacity to generate both time and space…the cultural object is both produced in time and produces time
Topic
The focus of music research on conservation relies on a particular view of music as an essentialised object, being safeguarded against the ravages of linear time. Western music pedagogy is still dominated by institutions that view it as their mandate to conserve the canon of Western classical music. Historical musicology and performance practice research are often likened to processes in art conservation. More broadly, there is a sense that music research has been slower than other disciplines to embrace progressive analytical approaches rooted in critical theory.
However, over the last few decades, incursions from the fields of anthropology and the social sciences have opened up new fields of inquiry within music research, breaking down the subject-object dualism to engage meaningfully with, through, and in music. Artistic research (AR) offers a unique response to this challenge by repositioning musical practice not merely as an object, but as a research process in and of itself.
In light of these developments, the ODC 2025 invites proposals for 20-minute papers or other presentations that seek to disrupt traditional understandings of the relationship between music and time, and to explore the effects of the conservation reflex in various fields within AR.
Keynote speakers:
- Martino Gozzi, Director of the Holden School, Turin
- Bruno Forment, Orpheus Institute, Ghent
Guest speakers
- Kyoung Hwa Kim, Music Research Centre, Hanyang University
- Luca Della Libera, Musicologist, Conservatory of Frosinone
- Jeremy Cohen, Violin player and Violinjazz Publishing, San Francisco
