[spectre] Trust Me, I'm An Artist : First Articles

[Annick2]

Dear Friends,


Don't know what to do during the holiday break? Have read 
already all your books, articles, mail? Just want something new?
Here some fresh reading for you!

It is my great pleasure to announce that the 3 first 
articles from the Trust Me, I'm An Artist are available 
online at : http://olats.org/trustme/articles.php


They are:

- The Introduction by the 3 guest co-editors, namely Bobbie 
Farsides (Lead Ethicist to the project), Anna Dumitriu (Lead 
Artist to the project) and myself (Lead Editor).

- Martin O'Brien (Artist) and Jareh Das (Curator) reflecting 
upon Martin's peformance "Taste of Flesh/Bite Me I’m Yours" 
of April in London.

Each artwork in this project inevitably raises and explores 
different issues, but there are also themes that cross cut 
the series, an important one being the role and 
responsibilities of curators and the co-construction of an 
ethically sound relationship between them, the artist, the 
proposed audience and society more broadly. It is for this 
reason that Leonardo has brought together paired authors 
–curator and artist – to reflect upon the experience of 
curating and producing a TMIAAA event.


Enjoy !


Best
Annick
