Art moves – 2008 October
This month’s art world movers.

Braziers international
The most recent Braziers international artists workshop enacted a purposeful shift, away from the idea of a residency as undisturbed individual activity, to that of a collaborative disruption of existing modes of practice.

Documenting live
A unique publication and DVD resource reflecting the work of key UK-based artists working in the 1990s and 2000s, and placing live art practices that are informed by questions of cultural identity within critical and historical frameworks, is now available.

Dog and window
New commissions by artists Richard Higlett and Jennie Savage will be presented by Locws International to coincide with the Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts.

Photo festivals
Now the largest photography festival in the UK, photomonth 08 encompasses over 100 exhibitions and events in more than sixty galleries and spaces in East London, featuring up to 500 photographers.
Quality art criticism
Concerning the article by Lara Farrer (a-n Magazine, August) and the September response by Rachel Clapham quote, Everybody has an opinion. It is just that in the past certain peoples opinion mattered more than others, and that is an ideology I would question.

London fair focus
The October art fair frenzy kicks off with Art London 2-6 October at Royal Hospital Chelsea, celebrating its tenth anniversary by presenting eighty galleries, 1,000 artists and five continents.

New spaces
New art spaces opening around the UK.
Sampler culture clash

Video festival
The first-ever International Video art festival in Orebro, Sweden, kicks off in October.

Working up a cultural sweat for 2012
I was heartened to see that Grunts for the Arts, an artist organisation in London, organises training days to get artists in a more sportsman-like frame of mind.

The art is in the process
The problem of exhibiting the product when the art is in the process Chris Young considers the shortfalls of the gallery experience in exhibiting process-based art.
No peer process
As someone who has tangled/tangoed with Arts Council England on a number of occasions over a number of years I was interested to read Debate, a-n Magazine September issue, about Genista McIntoshs proposals for a more accountable, transparent and user friendly system.
