Week 3 / Reflective Factish Field and collective gallery

Artists in fieldwork, I realized that artists maintain a distance between subjectivity and objectivity in their artistic practice. The artist as self-observer and immersive experience can be used as semi-structured investigative work practice. At the same time, I also found that artists often use their practice as a process of self-awareness, centered on the realization of value through the stories and experiences of their subjects. Thus, ‘auto-ethnography’ usually turns on how artists develop their own practices.

Foster states that ethnography is considered contextual, the rote demand for which contemporary artists share with many other practitioners today, some of whom aspire to fieldwork in the everyday. (1995, p. 305)
