About the publication
The publication Research & Development | Special projects, residencies, publications and research by Rotterdam visual artists.  2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 provides a lively overview of four years of artistic research projects of more than 160 Rotterdam artists, thus showing a cross-section of contemporary art practice. The projects, which took place from 2014 to 2017, are classified in this publication on the basis of eight different professional views of the artist: campaigner, connector, translator, newsreader, historian, scientist, technologist and image maker. In interviews six artists speak about the influence of the R&D contribution on the development of their work. The publication also contains essays by art theorist Janneke Wesseling about the importance of artistic research and philosopher Henk Oosterling about the artist and his craftsmanship.

About the R&D scheme
The Research & Development (R&D) scheme has been implemented since 2010 and gives Rotterdam visual artists the opportunity to develop and deepen their professional practice through research. The first publication was published in 2014 with an overview of the artists who received an R&D contribution between 2010 and 2014. For more information about the R&D scheme, visit www.rotterdamsekunstenaars.nl.
