PART SEVEN: Conclusion! Finally!!
Did the symposium do this:
NO. 2: Expanding possibilities for artists’ professional practice and opportunities for artists in the creative industries.
Not in a very direct way. Inevitably the artists speaking had followed very specific and personal trajectories that can't be replicated.
Some qualities the artists had that could possibly help towards expanding your own possibilities in professional practice:
All showed tenacity and from Sans Facon in particular I will bear in mind negotiating, questioning and squeezing things.
From Linder – looking for opportunities to collaborate outside the arts.
From Olivia – to find some answers for myself to the questions I ask about the arts. Also not to be afraid of institutions or take things gratefully in outstretched palms. Lastly she confirmed my love for the democratic nature of the artists' book.
