a few close up instead of lots from a distance new article on the Community Blog Stream - by Helen Varley Jamieson.
"These days, success is often measured in numbers: how much money something made, how many people were involved, how many things were produced. Funders require these figures for their reporting, and the crowdsourcing trend reinforces the idea that big numbers are better. But where does that leave small-scale and experimental work? What of galleries that occupy tiny spaces, or one-on-one encounters between artists and their public? I have participated in many excellent small scale art projects and events over the years, with necessarily limited numbers. Most recently, I participated in "Matchpoint" at Signalraum in Munich, a weekend of one-on-one meetings between artists and "guests" who applied for a half-hour appointment with an artist. This kind of micro-event would not score highly on a more-is-better scale of success, but for the participants it was a richly rewarding and unique experience." http://www.furtherfield.org/blog/helen-varley-jamieson/few-close-instead-lots-distance -- ---> A living - breathing - thriving networked neighbourhood - proud of free culture - claiming it with others ;) Other reviews,articles,interviews http://www.furtherfield.org/reviews.php Furtherfield – online arts community, platforms for creating, viewing, discussing and learning about experimental practices at the intersections of art, technology and social change. http://www.furtherfield.org Furtherfield Gallery – Finsbury Park (London). http://www.furtherfield.org/gallery Netbehaviour - Networked Artists List Community. http://www.netbehaviour.org http://identi.ca/furtherfield http://twitter.com/furtherfield _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
