The Routledge Companion to Research in the Arts is a major collection of new writings on research in the creative and performing arts by leading authorities from around the world. It provides theoretical and practical approaches to identifying, structuring and resolving some of the key issues in the debate about the nature of research in the arts which have surfaced during the establishment of this subject over the last decade.

Contributions are located in the contemporary intellectual environment of research in the arts, and more widely in the universities, in the strategic and political environment of national research funding, and in the international environment of trans-national cooperation and communication. The book is divided into three principal sections – Foundations, Voices and Contexts – each with an introduction from the editors highlighting the main issues, agreements and debates in each section.

The DVD Study Edition RECORD_AGAIN! 40YEARSVIDEOART.DE–PART 2 presents 60 outstanding video works by 58 artists and artist groups spanning the years between 1968 and 2008, thus continuing work begun by 40YEARSVIDEOART.DE–PART 1 in 2006.

The second edition focuses on the early years of video. Many of the tapes have survived a 25-year period in storage, and thanks to the means of presentation that have meanwhile become available, are now presented here for the ìirst time: since the old equipment has longsince become obsolete, the bulk of the video collection was likewise unserviceable. However, the ZKM | Laboratory for Antiquated Video Systems has devised special equipment for the project, consequently making it possible to digitize over 50 of the different video formats dating from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, and to thereby preserve them for posterity. The resulting footage has a running time of more than 25 hours, and encompasses both old and new works ranging from early art-video recordings of performances, interviews or documentaries on the art scene, to politically motivated works, all of which are presented in this anthology.
