Abstract
Abstract: This is a practice based PhD which follows several different lines of inquiryin order to pursue the ideas and territories which the practical worksthemselves lead to rather than imposing a question which the practical workhad to speak to. The practical works ore as much a port of the submissionas the text and each chapter includes a DVD with either the work, or if itwas site specific, the documentation. The text never seeks to explain thework but to expand and contextualise it. Although each chapter of thedocument is specific to a particular inquiry - mistranslation throughsubtitling, representations of the self through performance, art in publicspace, and artist-run exhibition initiatives, there are also threads that runthroughout. Questions of identity can be read into all the work whether itbe in the costumed performance or through questions about the identity ofon artist or on audience within particular systems of distribution and ineducation. Although some of the work has been shown in a traditionalgallery setting there is a concern for alternative modalities for presentingart and much of the work is situational and responsive to opportunity. ThisPhD is really on examination of how an artist thinks through practice and inthe end I hove sought to approach areas of interest and to open upquestions without too much concern for finding closure in answers.
