Practice question · Multiple choice
Candy distinguishes practice-based from practice-led research by where the primary contribution resides. What follows from this distinction when evaluating a studio project's final outcome?
Hints
- Where does the primary contribution reside if the artwork itself is not the main output?
- How does generating knowledge about operational practice differ from delivering an artefact?
Show the answer
D. The outcome in practice-led work is new understanding of creative practice
Why
Confusing the artefact's role treats it as secondary documentation rather than the contribution itself, whilst equating studio research with history conflates Frayling's distinct categories. Practice-led work still uses making, but yields operational knowledge.
