MEASURING THE EXPERIENCE – 12
“The Arts Council…has handed down responsibilities to the regional arts boards who in turn have farmed out functions to mini-quangos. Every step of the way a new little bureaucracy has been born to ensure the most cost effective way of the little money left.”
Fiachra Gibbons, The Show Must Be Run, The Guardian, 11 July 1995

“The most significant factor of the artist-space movement is that art has been put back into the hands of artists and artist-curators. Artist run spaces have given art and artists a higher degree of validation and importance in their own cities and communities.”
Cheryl Jackson, Organising artists, USA 1993
