A panel discussion exploring the different approaches of research and information gathering by artists during the process of art production. Artists, librarians and archivists come together for a discussion of current directions in studio pedagogy and practice and the role that art information professionals can play as facilitators of the creative process. The chosen panel will present perspectives from different artistic practices, experience levels and from a variety of public, university and college, and museum institutions to explore all facets of how research is incorporated into contemporary artistic production.
