Wright, J.D. orcid.org/0000-0003-0004-919X (2024) The Power of Convening: Towards an Understanding of Artist-Led Collective Practice as a Convener of Place. Arts, 13 (2). 67. ISSN 2076-0752
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in artist-led collectives with high-profile recognition within contemporary art mega festivals, prizes, and biennials. Yet, these amorphous entities and initiatives tend to be framed either through their politically motivated actions or as a critique of the notion of the single author or ‘artist-as-genius’ mythology. This article builds upon this discourse to shift the emphasis onto both interpersonal and socio-political relationships that constitute artist-led collectives in order to explore their complex role in convening and placemaking and what this might mean for both policymaking and research.
