PhD in Practice

the practice-based PhD potentially demands at least two sets of incompatible competencies, one that satisfies

(Candlin 2000)

problem-solving

vs.

problem-creating

Yet artwork has been, and is still successfully judged outside of an explicit relation to text, so why does the practice-based PhD destabilise what are

established and educationally viable modes of judgement within art departments?
