ใArtists Running: 50 Years of Scottish Cultural Devolutionใ
The study examines Scotland’s burgeoning artist-run organisational culture and its long-established Unionist-nationalist arts organisations. It has diverse influences on Scottish contemporary art due to the influence of different eras’ culture and history.
Finding the perfect studio accomodation, as Neil mentioned, was difficult. In 1977, artists banded together in Scotland’s growing industrial wasteland to establish affordable working artist studios in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, and Glasgow.
As Scotland became more established, large-scale industry evolved, and as the number and size of galleries increased, so did the capacity for more artists to work in Scotland.
๐Governance Of The Possible
Reshaping the Network seeks alternatives to reinvent the European art ecosystem through a collaborative writing process that draws inspiration from the practises of artists and art workers.
A call to institutions, arts funders, governments, and artists to join in the paradigm shift from individual survival to collective survival of life, liberty, and justice, with the hope of returning to the etymological sense of conspiracy, breathing together, and even the more general sense of “conspiracy”
This organisation aspires to be a part of a continuous, active process developed through broader collective conversation, sharing some collective practises and resonating with others who demand and execute collaborative, open, playful, joyous, and resistive forms of governance.
The term GOTP refers to a possible construction. They no longer aspire to meet an imposed standard of artistic brilliance, they are no longer overly mobile, and they no longer want to represent the country. You liberate yourself from the struggle for your own work or the survival of your specific cultural organisation by practising GOTP.
