This is an archive of issues within the arena of the arts; issues which are prevailing. Used -or/and to be used- material/projects, ideas and perceptions are all collected here; nothing of these is indented to be presented only here, in digital form alone. This is the collecting hub of the “memorabilia” of presented projects, in which I have been actively involved or have initiated.
The lack of ability- in some cases- to engage in art and cultural productions, is from my standpoint the result of poor pedagogic support around the subject on display, which was what led to this blog. The level and quality of information provided for the viewer has been criticised one too many times, resulting in the addition of “educational” departments within institutions.
-How much importance do we pay to information (printed on walls, leaflets, catalogues etc) related to the exhibition?
-What is the role of the educational/pedagogic departments in institutions, and how have they remoulded the institutional scene?
-Could we come to help one another in the reading and experiencing of an exhibition?
-What role (and at what importance) do hosts within a space play? Do we seek information from them? Do we feel secure in any manner due to their presence?
“Art is for everyone” or is at least intended for everyone. Not much different from a book, it should be accessible and inviting to a wide audience (speaking with my Cypriot background in view here).
Making art more accessible does not only include taking notions such as “Stand Behind the Barrier” & “Please Do Not Touch” away from the display, but also providing the audience with the reading apparatus and the appropriate equipment to see the art from an ally’s point of view: to stand with it on the same side of the field and play with it on the same team, as oppose to playing against it.
