Abstract
In this paper, we explore a question that we were asked at a recent national art education conference in the US. During the session, which focused on the parallels between art museum-based research methodologies and contemporary artists working processes, we discussed arts-based research. An attendee raised the question, “Is all visual art arts-based research?” A great question and one that led us to inquire further. In this study, we explore the question through two methodologies–arts-based research and phenomenology to explore the intersections between artistic process and social research. As an entry point, we introduce a methodology matching game we created to provide a broad overview of approaches in research and artistic practice before focusing our discussion on arts-based and phenomenological approaches through the work of two international contemporary artists and researchers including a team from Australia.
