Abstract
Conor Wilson's research explores the proposition that making is a particularly intimate form of engagement between body and world. Some questions that emerge from this research are: 1. Does making allow us to access a mode of thinking/being that we can’t access in other ways? 2. Can we provide evidence of embodied knowledge other than through ‘doing the knowledge’, or through visual documentation? 3. How do we bring writing closer to making? The third, in particular, is a question that seems central to the conduct of Practice-based Research. Through a series of noticing, making and writing exercises, we explored together how we might address these questions, while practising a ‘…kind of receptivity, of openness, or “hospitality”’ (Helene Cixous).

| Note: | 'Doing Together' is a yearly making and sharing practice research symposium organised by Conor Wilson and Natasha Kidd. Throughout the symposium, facilitators – alongside participants – test out ways of doing together in an effort to make their practice-based research explicit, rather than simply describe it. Bringing together the community, 'Doing Together' provides an opportunity to explore and be part of current innovative art, design, cultural and creative research. The symposium celebrates the spaces, people, relationships and creative approaches at Bath Spa University, sharing them beyond the walls of the institution. |
