“Keep Frozen is an ongoing art-practice-as-research project concep tualised by me – the artist and editor of this publication. The book is intended for other artists to use as a tool to reflect on their meth- ods and practice in a call for a pluralistic view on the topic of what art-practice-as-research might be. It was a conceptual decision to assume the role of editor and to invite other artists as well as non- artists to share their points of view and have their writing edited by an artist. It is my hope that many such stories will be published, all surprising us in their different ways.

I ́m not going to trace the thoughts of the different writers in this book, as is the custom of the editorial note; instead, I ́m going to credit everyone that got involved in this project in one way or another. I call each one of them my collaborators in order to make a statement about the production of art works. The end result, or the many results, was influenced along the way by opportunities that arose, chances that were given, infrastructures that offered support, and by all the people who made it happen through their faith, through the experiences they shared, through hard work, ideas and the talent that they gave to the project.
