thinking about what stephen said

The biggest issue that I will need to address is how am I going to package my work as art?

So far, I can only think that it can be experienced as art if you are a participant

The art manifests in the mind as well as in the process of taking part.

The art work changes depending on your position to it

The 'concept' of the art can be realized in several ways other than participating in it:
as a written document- you need to have time to read the whole thing- its not instantaneous, you have to be able to speak english.
What are the ways around it? split screen of different points of the conversation all happening at once.
Translating the written document in different languages
Making the words bigger
Making the words fewer, as few as possible
Not using words but telling the story through pictures. Or both

Could one image define the piece? No

There needs to be:
a sense of collectivity
a life drawing situation
discussion clearly about life drawing afterwards
depict the process of questioning ones situation/practice
as an exchange with other people

 ---------------------------------------

Other projects that have taken place that interest me:

Stephen held life drawing classes with janitors of ECA

Tutors within a year group shared their skills with each other one day a week

First years were given a book which they could approach others with who were reading it too and engage in conversation

Would like to include more members of staff but Stephen worries some would dominate too much- how would we overcome this?
