Do Try This At HomeTools Anderson, Heather; Clements, Chrystal. Do Try This At Home. Halifax, NS: Mount Saint Vincent University Art Gallery, 2001.
Abstract (English)This publication documents multimedia works by nine emerging artists concerned with “materials and subject matter of everyday life.” Anderson’s essay explores the realities of “self-subsidized autonomy” within the artists’ practices, and situates their works within the contexts of artist-run culture and Bourdieu’s model of the art world. Clements focuses on the notion of “state-subsidized autonomy,” and the impact that public funding has on making, distributing and exhibiting art. Includes statements by the artists (in response to a questionnaire on economic aspects of art production). Biographical notes. 5 bibl. ref.
