I spent the evening in A&E on Wednesday night and have been reflecting on the difference between medical and art dialogue/terminology/jargon. There is certainly a parallel between the shorthand type of dialogue exchanged between medical teams and artists/practitioners and how this specialist langauge is then translated into everyday terms.
One practitioner on my list to talk to for this project is Alison McIntyre of Art Doctors and I think she will have some really interesting things to say about these language issues amongst others
In a similar vane, my long term collaborator and Dwell Time co-curator Vanessa Haley and I imagined writing mental health diagnoses like the tasting notes of fine wines.
