▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
If we were to explicate further the anatomy of a traveller, we could say that it is precisely in the very process of negotiating ‘the between’, traversing the threshold and crossing boundary, that she/he makes her/himself a traveller. [Syed Manzurul Islam]. In this exegesis I explore the transformatory and self-liberating possibilities travel offers to artists who choose to travel, including myself. I propose that in the process of negotiating ‘the between’ and traversing the boundaries between the individual and the ‘other’ whom a traveller inevitably meets in the space of travel, the individual will confront internal boundaries which, when crossed, offer a true possibility for self- liberation. I have concentrated on artists because I have called myself one for thirty years; as well I have travelled and lived outside Australia for considerable periods of time. The experiences of travel and developing my work in a variety of other spaces is reflected in my past and current practice as a contemporary artist. This will make this exegesis partly autobiographical, however I will also explore the travels of other artists, notably the work of Ian Fairweather and affect of travel upon their practice as artists. Syed Manzurul Islam proposes that the crucial difference that separates a truly nomadic traveller from those he describes as ‘sedentary travellers’ is the acceptance of the opportunity to change, to peel away the layers of preconception that we all carry and to ‘become-other.’ That is, to bridge the space between our external lives and our internal state of being in the unique space of the journey. Maurice Merleau-Ponty proposes art as the bridge that can join the ‘other’ and us through the creation of personal, creative languages flexible enough to be that bridge. I will refer to my own and other artists’ journals to explore the ramifications of my and others’ journeys as a way to self-liberation and creativity. This is a pathway that writer and lecture Rob Pope proposes, as leading to an ongoing process of ‘coming-to-be’ which is both unpredictable and only ‘ever fully graspable in the event’. This Pope describes as ‘invention’ over a ‘discovery’ model of creativity. Travel, I propose, is a way to self-liberation and creativity as a complex series of interactions within the space of the journey.

▼ The study of an individual artist’s practice and agency is central to the conservation of contemporary art. The oeuvre of French-born Australian artist Mirka Mora (b. 1928), with an artistic production spanning more than sixty years, presents a range of contemporary conservation challenges ranging from the breadth of materials and diverse technical approaches to the preservation of access and use of the works. Mora moved to Australia in 1951 and became a major figure in Melbourne’s social and artistic history. Arguing that an understanding of the significance of materials and the agency of the artist is essential for art conservation, this research explores Mora’s choices in artistic materials and her idiosyncratic modes of making, in close collaboration with the artist, with access to her studio and private diaries. This material-based focus brings a unique perspective to Mora’s oeuvre, highlighting the place of her creative processes within their social and artistic context. While embracing the whole of Mora’s oeuvre, the research project places special emphasis on her production of soft sculptures, which to date have not been studied but are beginning to show signs of damage from ageing.
The methods of research combine oral history with detailed analysis of primary and secondary sources, visual examination of works of art and the making of replicas with regular feedback from the artist. Adopting methods of qualitative analysis from social sciences, the thesis also takes inspiration from material culture studies to examine the relationships between Mora’s techniques and the broader context of twentieth-century feminism, the craft movement, public art policies and practice. Mora’s sense of performative dress, her way of communicating by using material culture, or by sharing her modes of art making with her students during her long teaching career, as well as her innovative twists on conventional techniques, all participate in the building of her artistic identity. These concepts of tradition, knowledge, emotion, gender and innovation, are all embedded in Mora’s various working processes, and traceable in the material envelope of her works. Investigating the meaning of materials from a conservation perspective, the thesis examines various models of decision-making currently in use in the profession, and how these frameworks can be applied to the new knowledge acquired on Mora’s materials and techniques. Applying these models into practice, the thesis makes recommendations regarding the conservation of Mora’s works, and examines three artist-sanctioned case studies focused on the conservation of soft sculptures to provide a wider perspective of these works. This research highlights the importance and the limitations of conservators’ collaborations with artists. It demonstrates how conservation can enhance viewers’ interactions with works of art, illuminate the skills that are brought into play in their making, and contribute to a broader access to them in present and future. Demonstrating the key role of…

▼ With the advent of the digital age, visual artists are in a greater position to define their methods of engagement with potential audiences through digital marketing. This engagement helps in creating a digital presence in support of their work and services. Through the combination of a qualitative survey and individual interviews, my research considers how visual artists are implementing digital marketing tools to assist with their career development. In addition to their individual practices, my research identifies the perspective of these artists when even considering the use of these tools. These artists and their combined efforts from digital and traditional marketing sources provide the foundation for this research. It is my belief that an artist's level of awareness and activity of these sources can help determine the value of digital marketing for their professional objectives. Understanding these objectives by their approach, viewpoints, experiences and circumstances can aid with understanding the potential sustained impact of digital marketing for the visual artist community at large. In my findings, I determine that the best approach for artists is to create a strategy that aligns with their professional objectives. With this strategy in place, visual artists are better equipped to identify if any digital marketing tools are ideal for their strategy. This approach allows for learning and experimentation with new media, while limiting valuable time and effort deducted from the creative process.

▼ John Henri Moser's (1875-1951) paintings are among the most collected in the State of Utah. He is represented in numerous museums and private collections, but his Parisian art training, prolific Expressionist artworks, and adoption of Fauvist colors and painterly techniques have been largely neglected. This thesis will examine Henri Moser's beginnings expressed through his unique painting style, career, and his recorded 1,198 artworks. Since this is the first comprehensive historical examination of this early twentieth century artist, this thesis will, through the scrutiny of primary documents and personal interviews with key descendents, provide a balanced approach to classifying and ranking this important artist among others of his time. Moser's academic training in Paris, his departure from classical training in favor of Expressionism, and the artists who influenced his life will be explored. The background and climate of Parisian academic training as well as the origins of the Fauvist movement will be detailed to contextualize his work. Evidence will be presented through representative images of Moser's artwork that will identify him as a progressive, innovative artist while examining his realization of what he believed was his divine calling. Research will show that Moser's expressive use of a bold palette did not take place until after he returned to Utah from his academic training and association with other artists, including Pablo Picasso, in Paris. Moser's position as a significant early modernist and his reception in a conservative environment will be examined. Moser's legacy as one of the earliest and most distinctive Expressionist artists in Utah will be substantiated.

▼ This dissertation uncovers the history of what is today generally accepted in the art world, that artists are also artist-writers. I analyse a shift from writing by artists as an ostensible aberration to artist writing as practice. My structuring methodology is assessing artist writings and their conditions and reception in their moment of production and in their singularity. In Part 1, I argue that, while the Abstract-Expressionist artist-writers were negatively received, a number of AbEx-inflected conditions influenced and made manifest the valuing of artist writings. I demonstrate that Donald Judd conceived of writing as stemming from the same methods and responsibilities of the artist — following the guiding principle that art comes from art, from taking into account developments of the recent past — and as an essayistic means to argumentatively air his extra-art concerns; that writing for Dan Graham was an art world right of entry; and that Robert Smithson treated words as primary substances in a way that complicates meaning in his articles and in his objects and earthworks, in the process introducing a modernist truth to materials that gave the writing cachet while also serving as the basis for its domestication. In chronicling the reception of these artists’ written production at the time of its writing, I conclude that writing that could be related to artists’ visual practices is what resonated in the late 60s. In Part 2, I explore Frank Bowling’s public deliberation on the relationship of black experience to modernist painting in Arts Magazine; Art & Language’s supposition that an editorial might count as art — arguing that it always already came up for the count as secondary-primary artist writing; female artist-writers’ disclosure of their art and writing in new feminist-founded magazines; and critics’ recognition of artist writings as a critical space. I conclude by proposing that the profusion of and demand for artist writings were constituted by the poststructuralist death of the author along with a persistent meaning-limiting author-function. This study confirms that critical engagement with writing by artists is a challenge: to viewers/readers, to art writers, and to artist-writers during the nascent era of artist writing.

▼ This paper investigates the role artists play in maintaining their legitimacy through participating in various roles across the entire art world by tracing the careers of selected artists with expanded practices. Where actions are performed on behalf of artists, artists lose the ability to represent themselves and even participate in their own disenfranchisement. Systems and systems aesthetics are first explored before the art world itself is revealed as a system. The positions that artists take up in the system is explored through the careers of various artists, including those that work as curators, writers and gallerists, challenging the hegemony that threatens to manipulate the system and remove the independence of the art object.

▼ Considering the large number of
artists that exist, there is valuable talent to be discovered. But the question arises, how to find promising and emerging
artists from hundreds of thousands of names listed among many different aggregations websites such as artfacts.org, and thousands of art galleries? We introduce an application named ArtTicker which uses many features of Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, Data Mining and Text Mining to crawl, rank, and analyze
artists and their popularity on the web. We start by identifying names of
artists who are not yet listed in large aggregate directories (such as artfacts) but are already represented by some galleries. This task requires crawling and extraction of artist names from thousands of art galleries. These web sites share a lot of common structures, however there is also significant variety among them and artist name extraction requires complex heuristics. We harvest thousands of artist names this way. Then we enter the second phase of the project – ranking this
artists by their “web presence”. Since the wealth of any data mining model is the actual data, the data collection period consisted of extensive crawling from a vast number of news publication websites. To this end we gather and cluster news from several leading art related news websites and also use many signals to rank and classify these art news sources. The artists’s score is based on how significantly an individual artist was featured in the art news stream of articles. The final objective of finding the emerging
artists is met by identifying the names which are present on gallery web sites, have high media presence (high score) and are not listed yet on the artist aggregate sites. The working prototype analyzes over 150 sources in English language but can be easily extended based on automatically crawling and analyzing related sources. It currently holds over 250,000
artists and over 70,000 articles from all these news sources. In essence, this is a streaming application for which given any geographic area (say Lower Manhattan) identifies the “hottest”
artists who are not yet known.

▼ This study is an investigation of the life and work of émigré artists who arrived in Great Britain as refugees after the 1956 revolution in Hungary and after the crushing of the Prague Spring in 1968. The artists selected for examination represent different aspects of cultural production and range from painters through graphic artists and designers to film-makers. The work of these artists is discussed in the wider cultural, social and political context of Cold War Europe. The human aspect, that is, the way in which exile affected individual artists and their lives and altered their perception and artistic output, is a central thread of the thesis. Other key issues that are considered include: the relationship between art and politics, exile and identity, cultural exchange and issues of communication with a foreign audience. The main argument is based on the analysis of selected artworks created in exile and the thesis is structured around eight case studies which explore specific aspects of the uprooted experience in the context of artistic creativity in exile. The major themes which the case studies focus on are: questions of identity and loss in the films of Robert Vas, the feeling of dislocation and alienation in György Gordon’s self portraits, the problems of artistic acceptance in the context of the career of cartoonist Edma, the transposition of Hungarian landscape painting traditions into English art by Gyula Sajo, the origins and artistic benefits of Josef Koudelka’s wandering existence, forms of Czech Functionalism in Eva Jiricna’s architectural designs, nostalgia and memory in the paintings of Jiri Borsky and Jan Mladovsky’s conceptual explorations of Eastern and Western cultural identities. The case studies are used to identify common artistic, philosophical and theoretical threads which connect the visual responses of the examined artists to the wider subject of art in exile.

▼ In the years 1663-1665, the Danish King Frederick III (1609-1670) had the walls of his cabinet in Rosenborg Castle entirely covered by black lacquer panels by the Dutch artist François de Bray (c. 1642-c. 1672). This room later became known as the "Chinese Tower Room". This thesis discusses the design of the "Chinese Tower Room" by tracing its history since the time of King Christian IV (1577-1648), the first Danish monarch with an interest in Asian objects, and also in relation to the environment of lacquer workers in the Dutch Republic, from where many
artists working at the Danish court originated. Transculturation, the transformation of a culture by the influx of new cultural elements and the loss or alteration of existing ones, played an important role in the room's creation. It created a new symbolic cultural language that was used to reinforce the status of the monarch and the existing ideologies that legitimized his position.

▼ Masters Research - Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
Many artists have contributed through their artwork to the understanding of the need for a vigorous biodiversity, which is a vital element to the health of the planet and is essential for the survival of all species including humans. Factors such as understanding of loss of habitat through deforestation, climate change, agriculture and introduction of exotic species impringe on biodiversity. This awareness is central to this project, and has generated the concerns embedded in this ceramic practice. By considering how art can contribute to the plight of endangered species this research initially examined the data which underpins the theories of the demise of biodiversity resulting in vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered species. Intensive case studies focussed on selected animals, which were to become the models for this ceramic work, which has built on the practice of other concerned artists. Finally, several aspects of environmental philosophy, such as animal rights, formed the basis for this work.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The traditional role of the artist as independent originator and creator bringing to life their sole vision as a work of art is broadened and enhanced by community based arts practice. Good community based practice demands that artist and community develop a relationship based on trust and communication. This forms the basis for working collaboratively to produce an outcome that is relevant and reflects ownership by the community.

▼ M.Tech. (Fine Art)
Papermaking as an activity area at the Technikon Witwatersrand (TWR) was initially introduced to equip fine art students with the basic knowledge and skills required to produce their own handmade papers, primarily for printmaking techniques. This need was identified through the fact that quality art papers were only available on campus at an expense that aspiring students could not afford. As the Papermaking Research and Development Unit (PRDU) at TWR expanded, students were able to specialise in paper-based research that targets certain issues that impact on and in our immediate environment. One issue that took priority was to investigate the properties, use and production of archival handmade papers to service local artists and students. South Africa does not have an extensive indigenous history or tradition in hand papermaking. It is a relatively new medium with little literature available on the subject. Research has become necessary to understand the properties of this medium in order to explore its various possibilities. This investigation would be viable to the local marketand manufacturers of paper, as well as to those who utilise paper in their creative activities. The bulk of archival papers available on the South African market are currently manufactured overseas and are imported to our country. With importing costs and current exchange rates, this increases their price in the South African market. The research specifically aims at producing a local handmade equivalent to the imported product that will meet, or lower, the cost and increase the availability of the product to the local market. Handmade papers have many advantages to the artists that exceed mould-made papers, all of which are investigated in this research. The specific market had to be identified in order to streamline the research possibilities and improve product potential. This market was identified as papers for selected traditional printmaking techniques, such as silkscreening; intaglio and relief processes. The research thesis, once published, will provide a resource on the subject, with specific application to a local situation. It will enable papermakers to further understand the composition of their product, as well as expand on its use and application.

▼ Au cœur d’un questionnement contemporain, ce travail propose de penser la place de la photographie dans la clinique hospitalière : que faire avec ces nouvelles « images » apportées en séance ? Sont-elles vouées à répéter inlassablement le traumatisme ou peuvent- elles devenir source de création ? Pour mieux cerner cette problématique, cette thèse plonge dans le monde désaliénant de l’art du collage qui invite justement à transformer la photographie pour un usage d’expression subjective. Le collage porte bien mal son nom car cet art semble, bien au contraire, permettre un décollement dans la surprise, créant de fabuleuses compositions et ouvrant vers de nouvelles associations. Si les surréalistes se sont grandement inspirés de la psychanalyse dans leur art, les cliniciens n’ont cependant que peu souvent exploré leur univers. Il s’agit d’un travail inédit faisant résonner, dans la clinique hospitalière, l’histoire de l’art et les théories psychanalytiques. « Photocollage » est le nom donné à cette médiation s’inspirant des techniques et des réflexions des artistes-collagistes pour l’adapter en séances individuelles au sein d’un service de soin somatique. Soutenus par les récits de ces créateurs, nous avons en effet découvert chez eux une utilisation intuitive du collage pour dépasser un traumatisme extrême. Cette thèse en explore les raisons et les processus sous-jacents. Ce travail analyse scrupuleusement les théories émergentes pour les confronter à quatre grandes rencontres cliniques saisissantes par leur originalité et leur richesse, afin de dégager toutes les potentialités créatrices de cet art hors du commun.
This work offers to consider the position of photographic art within the clinical psychology practice. Are the images used in clinical sessions merely reproducing the trauma, or could they inspire creation? How can these images be used in clinical sessions? Such are the deeply contemporary questions to which this thesis attempts to answer. In order to grasp this question, the thesis immerges into the art of collage, a subjective creative art form using photographic media. The art of collage (to glue in French) seems to allow an antagonistic deepening of perspective from the subject, along with fabulous creations and unseen associations of ideas. Surrealist artists have freely inspired themselves from psychoanalytical concepts in their work; however clinical psychologists have seldom explored the world of art. This thesis attempts to bring together in harmony clinical work, history of art and psychoanalytical theory. « Photocollage » in french refers to this form of mediation, inspired by techniques and theories used by collage artists for individual therapeutic sessions, amid somatic treatment often following trauma.Through these creative processes, we have discovered an intuitive use of collage inorder to overcome extreme trauma. This thesis attempts to explain the reasons and underlying mechanisms. This work examines emerging theories on the subject, and attempts to apply them to therapeutic experience…

(more)
▼ Scottish-born Ian Fairweather (1891-1974) is acclaimed as one of Australia's greatest modernist artists. A recluse and wanderer, he substantially refused to engage with society and the art world. At the age of sixty he made a potentially suicidal sixteen day crossing of the Timor Sea on a ramshackle raft. On the basis of this journey, and his choice in old age to eschew comfort and live like a hermit, public perceptions have tended to polarise—he is considered either genius or madman. The legend of Fairweather's life can eclipse the importance of his art.
The questions addressed in this thesis are: what motivated the artist to go to such lengths of disassociation, and how important was this to his creativity? To determine the factors underpinning Fairweather's philosophy and impulse to self-isolate, his early life and itinerant years in Australia and Asia, his raft journey, and his preference for islands are examined. The problem is the artist left few clues. The body of his known work amounts to some 550 paintings and drawings, one small sculpture, one published book and a few artefacts including letters and an unpublished manuscript. These have already been extensively researched.
In aiming to present a new perspective on Fairweather and offer deeper insights into his life choices, this thesis draws the conclusion that despite his itinerant lifestyle Ian Fairweather was a strongly self-directed individual who opted for a life of minimalism based on non-materialist principles. His deeply spiritual work and his facility with Chinese language, culture and calligraphy reveal a man of great complexity who developed an 'island mentality' in order to fully realise his art.
Research is based on available literature, news media, the internet and Fairweather's art. Interviews were conducted with key Fairweather researchers Murray Bail and Tony Twigg. Field research was undertaken in Brisbane, Bribie Island and Darwin. The archives of H. S. Ede were accessed at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge University, UK. The works of creativity theorists were examined to determine the relevance of psychosis to creativity, Fairweather's working methods were considered against Galenson's theory of art, and comparisons were drawn with fellow isolationists, artist Paul Gauguin and the fictional Robinson Crusoe.
The creative work developed in parallel with this thesis is the manuscript Each step into the light: poems exploring Ian Fairweather's life, his raft journey, and his compelling works of art.

▼ This dissertation is an analysis of artists’ books not
only as works of art, but also as works of literature. Artists’
books have long been at the center of a debate about both their
nature and their future. One of the goals of this dissertation is
to explore how throughout their history artists’ books have
expressed the interactions between narrative, language, and
materiality. ❧ This dissertation is an exploration of the evolving
and hybrid nature of the book as a cultural object in its
engagement with the concepts of memory, power, and multi- mediality
in the iteration of artists’ books. This research offers a reading
of, among others, Deborah Davidson’s Voce (1995), Carol Rosen’s The
Holocaust Series. Book X, To Ashes (2000), and Tatana Kellner’s
Fifty Years of Silence-Eva and Eugene Kellner (1992) to address the
representation of memory and witnessing. Luigi Serafini’s visionary
Codex Seraphinianus (1981) and Isgrò Enciclopedia Italiana fondata
da Giovanni Treccani e cancellata da Isgrò (1970) engage instead
with the concepts of power and hegemony and are read against the
works of Michel Foucault and Jorge Luis Borges. The Palaver (1999)
by Gad Hollander and Andrew Bick is instead both an example of
interactivity and multimediality showcasing an iteration of the
artist book as an object that is defined by a hybrid nature. ❧ One
of the aims of this dissertation is to shed light on how artists’
books engender a disruption of the “habits” of reading and engaging
physically with the book form, and how this disruption calls for a
set of new interpretative instruments.

▼ non-peer-reviewed
The overall aim of this research is to explore the experience of career development of performing arts professionals in Ireland, in particular theatre artists and musicians. The study deliberates on the challenges encountered as they strive to establish a creatively satisfying and economically sustainable career (Wyszominski and Chang 2017). Furthermore, it examines the types of career supports available and the contribution of postgraduate studies to their career development.
Artists frequently undertake short term, low security work contracts, requiring adaptability, flexibility and mobility (O’Brien Bernini 2016). Performance artists engage in the ‘gig economy’, doing sessional or temporary jobs, paid by different employers (Wyszominski and Chang 2017). Professional development opportunities are provided by the Arts Council of Ireland and other arts organisations (Arts Council 2017). However, these cater for only a small number of artists and access is frequently competitive. European initiatives such as Creative Europe also offer opportunities for artists to develop new skills, professionalise and internationalise their careers (Creative Europe 2018).
An interpretivist paradigm underpinned this research study which involved semi structured interviews and thematic analysis of the career narratives of six performing arts professionals (Braun and Clarke 2006). This research demonstrates that career development in the Irish arts sector is complex with performing arts professionals carving out individualized career paths, in what is commonly perceived to be an insecure and precarious profession. Tension exists between this reality and the fact that individuals feel drawn to this career path, with some viewing it as a ‘vocation’ and part of their self-identity Also highlighted is the relational influence of parents, family and friends on their career decision making, and the significance of professional and personal networking. The findings also illustrate the benefits of this career type; opportunities for artistic freedom, personal satisfaction and self-fulfilment, meaning and value of work in their lives and diverse work opportunities.
However, this study exposes a gap in current research on the career development process and experience of performance artists in Ireland over a long-term period. Several recommendations are put forward to inform policy, practice and further research on this particular career area.

▼ Architectural space is usually documented in the form of orthographic projections, that is, plan, section and elevation drawings, with perspective and three-dimensional models. These render the space in a particular way and hence, have limitations and specificity. The artist’s book – that is, a book made as an original work of art, with an artist or architect as author – offers a different mode of presenting documentation and reading representation. This thesis examines the potential for the documentation of space by coupling the artist’s book with the content of post factum architectural documentation. Through an examination of the relationship between the drawing, the building and the book, and various case studies, the potentiality of the book as a site for architecture is examined. This thesis proposes the artist’s book as a complementary, three-dimensional architectural representation with a generational and propositional role within the design process. This examination repositions books within an expanded notion of the design process, which displaces the built object as the endpoint of this process, and investigates the critical facility of artists’ books. The creative work presented for examination comprises three artists’ books – 'Mies van der Rohe: Built Houses'; 'Ise Jingū: Beginning Repeated'; and '$1.45¢: Houses in the Museum Garden: Biography of an Exhibition' – which operate as case studies, within the text. These works are informed by the research of the dissertation and frame the reading of this text. Three other works, undertaken through the course of the study, are also presented, and further explore the ideas presented in the textual enquiry of the thesis.

The records of visual artists : appraising for acquisition and selection.

▼ The responsibility of archivists is to preserve society's documentary heritage. Visual artists contribute to this heritage thorough their creative vision of man and his civilization. Because the archival purview to preserve some representation of the artist's activity is evident, it is necessary to determine, from a theoretical perspective, which part of the artist's output is of archival nature and how archivists may appraise this output for acquisition and selection.
This thesis uses published sources of European and North American archival theory, aesthetic philosophy, business, and law and data gathered from interviews with four British Columbian artists to investigate the validity of theoretical appraisal principles for the evaluation of records generated and received by artists.
The study concludes that artistic activity is clearly divisible into functional components and productive of many basic record types. Because of the pressures and requirements of the often-conflicting interests of art, business, and law, artists must depend on their records as a basis of security, a means of operating, and a source of memory. These records are archival in nature because they are generated out of a practical activity, constitute an organic accumulation, and are used and then retained for the use of their creator. Except under certain circumstances, the finished work of art is not of archival nature. Consequently, archival repositories do not have the right to preserve works of documentary art.
Artists' records can be appraised in accordance with the theoretical principles of archival science. Appraisal results in a decision about acquisition and a decision about selection. Both decisions are based on the archivist's knowledge about the artist's contemporary society, his life, and his activities and records. The result of the first decision will be the acquisition of organic bodies of records representative of their contemporary society, complementary to the primary and secondary sources preserved in the area where the repository acts, and relevant to the acquisition policy of the repository. The second decision will be the selection and preservation of those records considered as having been most essential to the organization, function, security, and memory of the artist's activities.

▼ Historic research has supported the claim that
artists experience higher rates of mental illness than those who do not engage in the creative arts (Andreasen, 1987; Kyaga et al., 2011; Richards, Kinney, Lunde, Benet, & Merzel, 1988; Santosa et al., 2007; Sass, 2000). Recent research contradicts these sweeping assumptions, but still finds some support that
artists have higher rates of mental illness and stress (Elias & Berg-cross, 2009; Greason, Glaser & Mroz, 2015; Young, Winner, & Cordes, 2013). College students' experiences of stress and mental illness are well documented throughout research (Archer & Lamnin, 1985; Beiter et al., 2015; Leppink et al., 2016; Murphy & Archer, 1996). Researchers do not understand the role that time spent on demanding majors, such as the fine arts, plays in stress and mental health of college students. This study attempted to fill the gaps in the research by investigating potential differences between college students studying the fine arts and those who do not with regard to overall mental health, stress, and time spent on academic work. A total of 66 students, 33 collegiate
artists and 33 non
artists, from a large, Midwestern university were surveyed on mental health, stress, and time spent on academic work. Two one-way ANOVAs were used to investigate potential differences in mental health as measured by the Outcome Questionnaire 45.2 and stress as measured by the Perceived Stress Scale. Neither model was significant and there were no significant differences between groups in overall mental health (F (1,64) = 1.701, p = .197) or stress (F (1, 64) = 1.679, p = .200). A one-way MANOVA analysis was used to assess time spent on academic work and the model was found to be significant (F (4, 64) = 2.917), p = .021). These findings suggest that although there were no statistically significant differences between
artists and their non-artistic peers in mental health and stress, these groups did spend different amounts of time on academic work. Implications and limitations to the study are discussed.

▼ This study examined the experiences of non-artist adults making a piece of art about themselves using two popular art therapy approaches, collage and drawing, with the purpose of understanding how the characteristics of each approach might affect the anxiety experienced in initial art therapy sessions. The study used a descriptive survey design in which eight volunteer student participants, ages 18-27, responded to their experience by rating their anxiety level before and after each task, by choosing which approach to start with, and by describing their experience. Clinically significant findings were that drawing evoked significantly more anxiety than collage because of:(1) preconceptions about what constituted an acceptable piece of art(2) concerns that meaning could be lost or misunderstood when an idea was translated onto the page because of limited drawing abilities(3) concerns about facing the challenge of the blank page and coming up with ideas for the artwork, and(4) concerns about the challenge of having to communicate using the unfamiliar medium of drawing materialsFindings also indicate, however, that drawing:(1) can be more personal, because the imagery produced is unique to the creator(2) is not bound by rules or structure(3) promotes creative problem-solving to address artistic limitations, and(4) can provide a positive sensory experience that collage does not seem to offer.Collage was approached with significantly less anxiety than drawing because:(1) the process itself was perceived as being easier(2) it provided structure in the form of visual stimuli, and(3) it involved a controlled, cognitive process that allowed for the safe exploration of self, insight and self expression, and for the depiction of strengths.Limitations identified when working with collage were that:(1) it required the individual to work with someone else’s selection and someone else’s imagery, and(2) it required a level of organization that seemed to exacerbate anxiety in some individuals.While drawing seemed to evoke the fears of failure, being misunderstood, shamed or revealing too much of oneself too soon that many clients new to therapy often experience, collage seemed to address these concerns. Seven participants used collage to make pieces that were considered more revealing of emotional content. At the same time, there were limitations imposed by the collage-making process, in that it compelled the artist to choose from images selected and prepared by someone else. Four of the drawings depicted feeling states, while the collages primarily addressed self-identity. This may have been due to the directive, but also could be due to the nature of collage, which involves selecting disparate images and words and assembling them into one piece. Findings suggest that collage can help address the anxiety of new clients because of its non-threatening nature, while drawing can be used to exacerbate that anxiety when needed. Collage can also act as a bridge to creativity by taking the familiar and askingindividuals to use it in a new…

▼ This capstone report consists of an essay followed by a catalogue of a virtual art exhibition that can be found in two formats: 1. A presentation on Prezi, permanently live: http://prezi.com/tdz-jx5u6ndc 2. A 3D virtual gallery exhibition, live until May 13, 2017: https://publish.exhibbit.com/28086777/by-sima-shabani-supervisor-dr-martin-rosenberg The artworks for the virtual exhibition are selected to provide visual examples to support the hypothesis suggested in this essay. In the essay, I argue that the political and social events of an artist’s era influence their creative visions and, therefore, their artistic creations. Being a woman of Iranian origin, and my own life being severely influenced by the political events of the last four decades in Iran, I have focused on the works of contemporary Iranian women
artists. The sociopolitical event in Iran that I have examined for this research is the Islamic Revolution of 1979. I have compared and contrasted the works by three categories of
artists, to demonstrate that the
artists from the same generation who have lived through the same event, in this case, the revolution of 1979, share many commonalities in their works, specifically in their representation of Iranian female identity. In contrast, the artworks by the younger generation of
artists, who were not alive at the time of the revolution, and lived their entire lives under different social norms, are different from those by the older
artists, particularly in their portrayal of Iranian female identity. The collection of artworks displayed in this virtual exhibition is an accurate demonstration of the dichotomy in the essence of works by the younger and older generation
artists. The older generation, having experienced a westernized style of freedom for women during the pre-Islamic era of Iran, recurrently portray views and themes, such as the loss of female liberation, oppression, and despair. In contrast, the younger
artists, who have lived their entire lives under strict Islamic laws of the current Iranian government, particularly those regarding women, frequently demonstrate ideas such as universal feminist issues, openness, appreciation of female sensuality and sexuality, and also resilience.

▼ Scholars have long shown that there are gendered hierarchies within art worlds. This research examines how those hierarchies are forming on the online marketplace Etsy. Using qualitative methodology I examine 10 in-depth interviews with
artists actively selling their artwork on Etsy. Additionally, I perform a qualitative content analysis of 50 artist profiles on Etsy. I find that offline cultural frameworks affect the ways these online
artists project the value of themselves, their ability, and their art pieces. Offline practices, procedures, and attitudes influence the way we value our self, and thus affect the way we present our self online.

Logistics of Space, Material, and Time: Struggles and Strategies for Sustaining Art Practice.

▼ This research examines how artists sustain their art practice in real-life situations, despite ongoing struggles, by developing strategies that befit individual circumstances. The research originates from the reality that many young artists give up their careers due to difficulties in finding a balance between art making, living, and money-making. However, there are exceptional cases in which artists have managed to maintain their active art practice despite facing similarly difficult situations. This research began with questioning what made them different and how they acquired such differences. By setting space, material, and time as the basic elements for art making, I researched four New York based artists who have not been able to live solely on their art, therefore have had to locate other sources of income through non-art or art-related activities.
This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Accepting the impossibility of coming up with universal answers to solving the precarity in an artist’s life, I chose to investigate individual cases in an in-depth manner. I collected data through interviews over multiple sessions to elucidate each artist’s perspective on their lives and the nature of an artist’s life.
This research reveals that three basic elements—space, material, and time—are not fixed, unnegotiable conditions for art making for the participants. Rather, these artists flexibly handle these three elements depending on their given circumstances by integrating the availability of certain elements with their art practice. In so doing, the artists tend to take limitations and constraints not merely as a barrier to overcome but more as a source of creativity to enhance the uniqueness of their art practice. Overall, the artists are familiar with the constant mode of learning for the unclear path of an artist’s career.
Although the outcome of this research cannot be generalized to encompass every artist’s career, it can be of benefit to many struggling artists who have yet to figure out their own way of sustaining their practice. Also, this research can be helpful for college-level art teachers and school administrators in preparing their educational curricula to meet the practical needs of their students who dream of becoming artists as their life’s work.

▼ Art is a creative expression, a form of transcendent communication, an act of defiance and a source of wonder, fascination, and beauty. Artists, the progenitors of these things, have historically clustered in neighborhoods that offer cheap rent and a prevalence of physical space. Their presence often resulted in some form of cultural commodification, rising rent, and the eventual displacement of the artists themselves. Affordable artist housing protects artists from displacement while simultaneously engendering economic development and cultural identity. It accomplishes these outcomes through public funding for affordable housing and often historic preservation. This thesis seeks to understand the impacts and limitations of affordable artist housing by analyzing the Read’s Artspace building in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It examines issues of gentrification, identity, economic development, and affordable housing through the lens of a city that has experienced decades of population loss and economic decline. Through case studies, a review of economic development, artist housing, and affordable housing literature, and interviews with stakeholders in the Bridgeport community, this thesis identifies the impacts of affordable artist housing and offers a critique of the enterprise itself, hopefully challenging our conventional wisdom and contributing to this emerging field of study.

▼ Mental illness affects artists and arts organizations in way that is detrimental to the production and presentation of art and the well-being of artists. The research conducted was meant to better understand the background of artists in relation to mental illness and current supportive practices of arts organizations. In this study one-on-one interviews were conducted with directors of various arts organizations. Previous research on the topic of correlation of creativity and mental illness has proven inconclusive and has not yielded novel direction in methods of treatment for artists with mental illness. The best course is to seek supportive policies and actions that arts organizations can effectively provide to artists who are living with mental illness. Artists who have had interventions in mental health issues are able to live productive and creative lives. The interviews conducted for this paper show that while arts organizations are empathetic and aware of artists with mental illness there remains stigma and trepidation when asked to discuss the subject matter. Through existing research and this study, it has been determined that arts organizations have a role to play in developing and understanding best practices when working with artists who suffer from mental illness. Preventative measures are important during the education of young artists along with the implementation of employee benefits that include ensuring proper mental health insurance coverage, stress reduction and Employee Assistance Programs. Arts organizations also bear the responsibility to understand the federal disabilities laws, community resource connections to support agencies, and pursue open dialog with artists.
