PROJECTS
ARTWORKS FELLOWSHIP
Artworks Fellowship
Question:
How can we break down the separation between the parts of what we do so that one can better influence the other?
project:
To explore collective working between individual and organisational practices. To use the ArtWorks Fellowship to explore the strengths of individual practice and to increase cross-pollination between this and project development work with The Stove Network.
about:
I have been awarded a Fellowship through ArtWorks Alliance and their partner the Barbican Guildhall in London. This is an artist and organisational pairing, one of 5 across Scotland for 2018, with a focus on exploring participatory development of work and socially engaged practices. I am interested in mutual learning and co-working methods of development of work and ideas, how do we support the practice of artist-led work within organisational structures. In essence it is a mutual learning journey as a practical example of continued professional development for both the individual and the organisation, how they interact and support each other in best practice, the co-creation of ideas, building of relationships and shared resources to make better, more engaging work.

10 month period of exploration - until December 2018
