currently chasing up contacts and leads to aid my investigative conversations around showing contemporary art in rural locations.
Places that don’t have an established gallery space, and thus an established audience. Though these can be exciting and challenging places to exhibit work, they have a huge host of issues to overcome.
So I’m seeking out people who have attempted to do this and see what they have learnt and what they’d do differently next time. And people, and gallery spaces, that are exploring the potential that new technology gives us, in particularly the use of live streaming to gain access to a global audience and thus boost your rural audience figures.
With arts council funding needing value for money, which i suppose means high audience figures, is this streaming of content, of the live broadcasting of the artworks, the way to go for art in out of the way places?
