Collaboration

Have just been asked to be part of the next Beacon Bimonthly event on May 4th - more info here. John Plowman and us in conversation around collaboration. I am keen to talk about this a larger concept rather than particular projects, however strikes me that a Small Change, Ruskin and The Collaborators can be pitched. I want to talk about how our way of working is led by doing the right thing rather than aesthetics and how this and democratic, social approaches are important and that our kind of collaborating is the abandonment of ownership of ideas and not a methodology that appropriates 'life' but is ethically the 'good' thing to do.
I also think we should talk about sustainabilty and future existence of artists and how that partnership/collaborative working can enable actions/works.

I think you should be part of event - perhaps on Skype or a bit like we did in Boston with Kate Pahl being there as we read out an email conversation we had. If Andy and Lee come too they will form part of the audience - its an open conversation thing so would work best if the conversation is collaborative.

I am half way through Raymond Williams - the Country and the City and The Long Revolution arrived this morning. Im on it!
