Hi! You’ve reached the homepage of Danny Butt. I am Senior Lecturer in Interdisciplinary Practice, and Graduate Research Convenor for Design and Production at Victorian College of the Arts , University of Melbourne where I mostly teach Methods in Artistic Research for graduate students across the disciplines.

I work with my dear friends in the Local Time collective. I wrote a paper about our practice in relation to theories of hospitality for the excellent Journal of Artistic Research (where I am now an editor).

My book Artistic Research in the Future Academy was published by Intellect / University of Chicago Press in 2017. See more on the website . With my colleagues Dr Kurniawan Adi Saputro and Professor Gunalan Nadarajan, I co-convene the Asia Pacific Artistic Research Network .
