With this second issue of Mapping Residencies magazine, the aim is to reopen the debate on what it means to work in a network within the field of art production: what is it that makes them effective? How can they generate increased artistic and social impact?
Moreover, to what extent does the artist’s need to establish contact networks tally with his/her work in the studio? How to affect the creation process and the artistic validation system?
The magazine features articles, interviews and a discussion forum that offer an extensive range of views. Some of these are optimistic while others challenge or criticise the raison d’être and the workings of a network devoted to art creation and the meaning of the word “networking” within the contemporary art system.
There is a small contribution necessary to access this publication (which is invested in taking this project forward): 2 euros for the online version and 12 euros for the offline.
Thanks to Mapping Residencies to have mentioned On the Move in its directory!
