I am current curator of the Huntly Art Reader, that ‘aims to regularly discuss art theory and curatorial texts to contextualise the contemporary art practice offered in Huntly, Aberdeenshire. The town’s vibrant arts scene provides the starting point for focused discussion and collaborative learning to enhance the quality and quantity of discursive and multidisciplinary thinking in the rural setting.’
I am in week three of eight and the topic I have chosen is Self-organisation. Texts so far have been
‘There is no alternative: THE FUTURE IS SELF-ORGANISED’ by Stephan Dillemuth Anthony Davies and Jakob Jakobsen
‘Anti-hierarchical artifices for groups to use’ by Elena Jordan & David Vercauteren
‘Representation, Contestation and Power: The Artist as Public Intellectual’ by Simon Sheikh
Five more texts to come over the next few weeks
