“Collective action often changes artists’ identities and ways of working: from individuality to collectivity and collaboration, locally and globally. Artists work together with non-artists, in their local environments, taking on multiple identities such as researcher, community activist, computer hacker or business consultant.
Making Matters looks at such art practices across all continents that do not conform to a Western concept of art and where the boundaries between art, design, research and activism become blurred or are dissolved.
The entries in this vocabulary experiment with concepts and keywords of current art practices that may no longer be recognizable as art.”
Final publication of the NWO research project Making Matters.
