In this article, the current debate about paradigm formation in artistic research is chosen as a starting point. The way in which artistic research operates as a convergence of creative practice, artistic thinking, and
curatorial strategies shows strong similarities with the definition of care proposed by Maria Puig de la Bellacasa: a dynamic, triangular interaction between labor, affect, and
politics. This proposition will be briefly elaborated on the basis of three research projects. Starting from the
statement Research is another word for Care (Marion von Osten), a further reflection on the significance of this
perspective for the topical discussion about curatorial research will developed.
