Reading the article they're historically literate so I wonder what timescale they regard the rise of social practice as covering. The art-and-social-practice of the 60s and 70s managed to produce fetishes for the gallery for example. The mentioned report - http://www.axisweb.org/features/news-and-views/beyond-the-gallery/validation-beyond-the-gallery/ sounds interesting but it requires Flash to read. - Rob. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
