Call for recommendations and submissions
Live Art UK are currently seeking entries for The Live Art Almanac Vol. 2 - An international publication of writing on and around Live Art.
Deadline: 31 December 2009
Live Art Case Studies
On completion of Live Art UK: Into Action and to inform the next phase of Live Art UK, make the ‘case for Live Art’ at the highest levels, and provide a resource for artists, promoters and others working in the sector, Live Art UK is commissioning ten case studies on key issues for Live Art.
Each case study will be led by a member/s of Live Art UK and will use either their own work, or the work of others, as its focus.
The ten Case Studies are:
Internationalism
Artist led initiatives
Education
Critical writing
Professional development
Audiences
Archiving and Documentation
Programming and Curating
Networks
Economy of Live Art
On completion of the Case Studies in summer 2009, Live Art UK will commission a writer to create an editorial summary document that introduces, contextualises and draws key conclusions and findings from the ten Case Studies.
It is intended that this framing document will set out the context of the sector and the landscape it occupies, draw out key findings from the Case Studies, and use them to highlight the ‘offer’ of Live Art, the ‘benefits’ of Live Art, especially in relation the Arts Council England’s mission of Great Art For Everyone, and the barriers or challenges facing the development of the Live Art sector.
