Well here I go, embarking on what will hopefully be an enlightening and interesting journey into how easy or challenging it is to make contact with artists in other countries, making use of the internet predominantly to make connections that will hopefully lead to realising a collaborative piece of work, or works in early June.
I have no connections to these cities, and am wondering where to start. Last night I did a lot of internet scanning, typing into Google lots of different combinations of words such as art, public art, collaborative, collaboration and artist alongside locations of Siena, Florence, Tuscany, Italy. I have no idea at present whether what I see is useful or not. I am presented with websites and information that may be current, or last edited many moons ago; how do you make a judgement based on what you see in front of you on screen?
I shall start sending out some speculative e-mails and see what I get back.
