Critical PracticeA research cluster convened around knowledge, creativity and practiceCritical Practice is now evolving at http://www.criticalpracticechelsea.org  A network of research projects coordinated by Neil Cummings and Research Fellow Mary Anne Francis. The collaborative research cluster Critical Practice recognises the dramatic effects on creative practice brought about by changes in the construction of society. These changes affect a multitude of levels - social, political, aesthetic and financial. Rapid technological change in information exchange and capital movements, for instance, have diffused traditional cultural distinctions and reconfigured economies of value. In this new environment our practices - as artists, curators, designers or theorists - their interpretation, how they are theorized, historicised or administered, are no longer separate concerns, or indeed the prerogative of different disciplines. It’s clear that artworks and artists exist within an ecology - an ecology built from an interrelated web of curation, exhibitions, museums and galleries, places of education, communities of enthusiasts, forms of funding, friendships, catalogues, bodies of knowledge, theorists, critics, advertising and so on. The research projects pursued under the auspices of the Critical Practice research cluster will engage with the various forces that are implicated in the making of art, and the increasingly devolved experience of art made available through art institutions to their audiences. Using ‘critical fieldwork’ we will develop research into the subtle relationship between a creative practice and its sites, sources and modes of realisation. We will explore new models for creative practice, and look to engage those models in appropriate contexts. The cluster of practitioners involved in Critical Practice will imaginatively engage their research in appropriate public forums, both nationally and internationally; We envisage participation in exhibitions and the institutions of exhibition, seminar and conference papers, fillm, concert and other event programmes. We will work with archives and collections, publication, broadcast and web cast media; while actively seeking to collaborate. core researchers are Andrew Chesher, Bernice Donszelmann, Corrado Morgana, Darrel Stadlen, Ian Drysdale IanDrysdale, Isobel Bowditch, Dr Mary Anne Francis, Neil Cummings, Pete Maloney, Dr Tim O’Riley, Tom Neill, Trevor Giles take a look at our Research Project Festive Raffle Critical Practice is now evolving at http://www.criticalpracticechelsea.org |
