Case Study for developing a sustainable Post Autonomous Practice

This year marks the significant shift from outlining a theory of Post Autonomous Practice in language, as theory, or reluctance to engage in materiality - to look at the major task of setting up a sustainable Post Autonomous Practice. What this actually means I will outline below, and in more detail during the course of time.

A package or programme of projects are in the pipeline to look at addressing this issue. Below I have outlined the obvious projects:

A series of Monthly talks/events at the Fordham Gallery

The reconstruction of a website dedicated to research, archiving, promotion and distribution of ideas and projects looking at Post Autonomous Practices

Selecting Furtherfields virtual and gallery space and projects as the first case study to examine how to develop a sustainable Post Autonomous Practice.


There are also plans to produce a text with Dr Atif Ghani looking at recent developments in Post Autonomous Practices.


The material published on this blog will concern itself primarily with the research and issues that develop out of this study.





Furtherfields a case study for developing a sustainable Post Autonomous Practice


The case study is geared towards addressing one route in the development of a Post Autonomous Practice, namely the idea of literally reinventing or rethinking the art industry from the beginning.

This sounds very awkward and badly put.

So the language and issues that is used to outline both the area I am looking at along with pinning down what a Post Autonomous Practice I hope to refine in due course, but at this stage all the issues build on articles and projects that have been put into the public arena during the last year.

The research and methods I want to bring to looking at Furtherfields continue the practice I have looked at throughout 04, namely of literally examining what is visibly and concretely available to us.

To date I have taken over 350 photos of Furtherfields base, taken notes, and talked to both Ruth and Marc over the course of quite a few hours. The notes I have made I will publish over the next couple of days.

However what I want to address in the near term is What is Furtherfield? What is the community that makes up Furtherfield core and extended community etc.
