About

Both nationally and internationally it is becoming more commonplace to apply the term Open Source to contemporary art practice. It is thought that this ideological way of working is the way forward in order for the processes used by artists and curators to become more transparent and reveal the creative and cultural processes, which can be often concealed once an exhibition reverts to a more conventional mode of presentation. However artists and curators argue that their art practice already subscribes to a non-hierarchical and open way of working where they engage in a collaborative process sharing their ideas in order to move them forward. It is therefore an ideal time to test this more open type of thinking and working, in order to critique our current frameworks for the production of art and how we present it.
