Art From London Markets, a-n feature

This week I had the real pleasure of meeting up with Emily Jane Campbell artejcampbell.co.uk, and Lucy Gresley lucygresley.com in Oxford to discuss plans for putting some more power into the e-communications strategy for Plastic Propaganda. We had a working document which we are developing to make something sustainable and effective. At this stage there are probably as many questions as answers, which made the post lunch trip to Moma particularly relevant: We are walking a labyrinth (Richard Long, Walking a Labyrinth); e-possibilities endless, choices need to be made to get us where we want to go in the most efficient but not necessarily most obvious way.

The hang of the Abramovic works begs the question: What is the role of interactive work when it moves into private ownership and as a result ceases to be interactive? This and was echoed in our discussions about potential conflicts between commercial and non commercial aims, and also a general discussion of ownership and authorship.

But what I did love about the Long mizmaze and the Abramovic is the feeling that they are with you as you step on the footprints of the maker (even if no longer allowed).  I guess with the policy that is also what we have to remember, we are not reinventing the wheel, we can tread a well worn path, touch what people have touched before.
