Launching an art world mapping tool


























Throughout the research I've conducted on the way art worlds work there have been a series of scribbled drawings mapping out connections between different elements. It's been a less than scientific process!
I'm keen to devise tools that deliver understanding both in their use and in their results and furthermore that benefit from repeated use by many people.
The art world mapping process is one such tool.
It was launched at Static in Liverpool through the re:format programme of events organised by Dark Horse Projects. I worked with performance artist Rebecca Reid and we focussed on an experimentational approach where the challenges faced in the Liverpool and International arenas played out in the responses to the mapping processes.
In other situations I will use this game-like tool as a show and tell approach or to lead groups through a learning route. This diversity of uses and applicability to a wide range of groups is intended to contribute to my ongoing research into the analysis of art world structures.
