  • The Challenge of Evaluating and Disseminating Art And
    PROJECT ANYWHERE: THE CHALLENGE OF EVALUATING AND DISSEMINATING ART AND ARTISTIC RESEARCH OUTSIDE TRADITIONAL EXHIBITION ENVIRONMENTS Sean Lowry Sean Lowry is a Sydney-based artist, musician and writer. He holds a PhD in Visual Arts from The University of Sydney and is currently Convenor of Creative and Performing Arts at the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia. Lowry has exhibited, performed and presented artistic research internationally, and his published writing appears in numerous journals and edited volumes. Lowry is also the Founder and Executive Director of Project Anywhere: Art At The Outermost Limits Of Location-Specificity (www.projectanywhere.net). During 2014, Lowry was Visiting Scholar/Artist at the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons The New School for Design in New York. www.seanlowry.com Telephone: +61 (414) 236 501 Email: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract The challenges facing artist academics wishing to produce, validate and disseminate art and artistic research outside traditional exhibition environments are varied and complex. This paper is examines key challenges facing artist academics working outside traditional exhibition environments such as museums and galleries.. Established in 2012, Project Anywhere was conceived as one possible solution to meeting these challenges. Project Anywhere is an expanded exhibition model potentially encompassing the entire globe in which the role of curator is replaced with the type of peer review model typically endorsed by a refereed journal. Specifically emphasizing artistic activity and research undertaken outside museums and galleries, Project Anywhere is dedicated to the evaluation and dissemination of art at the outermost limits of location-specificity through the use of a blind peer review process for assessing the quality of artistic research outcomes.

  • Project Anywhere: Art, Peer Review and Alternative Approaches to Validation at the Outermost Limits of Location-Specificity
    Page 111 / June 2014 Project Anywhere: art, peer review and alternative approaches to validation at the outermost limits of location-specificity. Sean Lowry and Nancy de Freitas This text discusses the conception and development of a new global exhibition model dedicated to the validation and dissemination of art and research outside conventional exhibition environments. With much contemporary artistic activity manifestly ill-suited to the spatial and temporal limitations of traditional exhibition environments, and the figure of the curator as “cultural gate-keeper” still dominat- ing more democratic models of selection and validation Project Anywhere was con- ceived as a potential solution for this double bind. Project Anywhere aims to meet the challenge of defining and implementing a new approach to the critique, peer review and documentation of artistic practices that fall outside of the forms and structures accommodated by conventional exhibition and publishing modes. Acting as a node to connect artistic activities in disparate locations, the Project Anywhere website1 is not an “online gallery”. By contrast, the site becomes a contextualizing framework for an expanded project space encompasses the entire globe where the role of curator is replaced with an adaptation of the type of peer review model more typically associated with a refereed academic journal. Historical context Artistic practices which unfold outside of conventional exhibition circuits have become increasingly common in recent decades. Much of this often dematerialised2 and post-object practice is concerned with critiquing traditional exhibition systems and the commodification of art objects. Historically, these practices have evolved Page 112 / June 2014 to challenge the idea that art only functions through its reification into an object such as a painting or sculpture.

    Brad Buckley Sydney College of the Arts, The University of Sydney As Adam Smith would have certainly asked: Do art schools have anything to offer a neo- liberal society? Keywords: Consumer, Sublime, Culture, Future, Dystopia, Pedagogy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWskaUHb4T0 We have art so that we do not die of the truth. Friedrich Nietzsche . voyaging begins when one burns one’s boats, adventures begin with a shipwreck. Michel Serres Our word ‘history’ comes from the Greek word meaning ‘enquiry.’ It embodies the assumption that men and women are curious about life on earth; that they wish to question the dead as well as the living, and to ponder the present and the future as widely as possible from knowledge of the past. Shirley Hazzard Many of the ideas in this paper come from a collection of essays, published as Rethinking the Contemporary Art School: the Artists, the PhD and the Academy (NSCAD University Press, 2009), which I edited with my colleague John Conomos. John and I began collaborating in 1999 when we organised two successful forums at Artspace Visual Arts Centre in Sydney in the lead-up to the referendum which would decide whether or not Australia would became a republic. Unfortunately for those of us who are republicans, the referendum was lost. The papers from this conference were later published as a book, Republics of Ideas (Pluto Press, 2001). It was the first book to examine the social, political and cultural implications of an Australian republic in the context of the visual arts and the new global economy.
