Publication: Diagrams of Seriality, Copy Press
March 2014 Diagrams for Seriality is a book on the theme of images and how they work in writing. It introduces a form of serial writing in which a sequence of sequences loosens its ties and invokes the margins of time and of space that can be found by those probing the conventions of story telling, novels and chapters. |

Publication: Journal of Visual Art Practice "The Absenting Subject: Research Notes on submitted PhDs in Fine Art" Neil Chapman and Katy Macleod "The Absenting Subject: Research Notes on PhDs in Fine Art" draws on a research study of submitted PhDs and interviews with a small group of artists. Research processes adopted by this diverse group manifested an exacting scrutiny of what it means to undertake research, that is, how research process can delineate a subject of enquiry and adequately approach that subject. We found a high level of questioning about the legitimacy of research methodological assumptions about how and in what ways research methods become valid. For instance, is research which pursues and reinforces a proposed subject more useful to a depth of practice than one which resists any resolved confirmation of its subject because that subject is porous to its prevailing conditions both internal and external? We ask whether such accountability is of less relevance to the development of vital research cultures than more conventional approaches to research? |
