Center for Arts, Business & Culture
At the Center for Arts, Business & Culture (ABC), we seek to act as a bridge between different spheres and forms of knowledge, in order to better understand and contribute to society through relevant research.
The studies carried out at ABC focus on:
- aesthetic and cultural analyses of economic activities, for example how experiences, emotions, stories, and symbols create value,
- economic and organizational analysis of artistic activities, for example the organization of artistic practices and the values of art,
- arts-based and experimental methods in research, education and action.
We collaborate with artists and artistic organizations, businesses communities, the public and civil sector, and researchers from a variety of disciplines, nationally and internationally. We welcome a multitude of theoretical and methodological approaches, and encourage interdisciplinary projects.
The center runs a Methods Lab and is integrated with SSE Art Initiative.
