Reflective Log: Cath Tutorial - Research Methods

Key Points:
During a recent tutorial Cath recommended the following books, and to also check the bibliography's of those books for further reading:

- Sweet Dreams - Johanna Drucker
- Art Incorporated - Jullian Stallabrass
- High Art Lite - - Jullian Stallabrass
- The Value of Things - Neil Cummings + Marysia Lewandowska
- Art + Economics - Springer

Further Research:
Young British Artists (YBAs).
"The label Young British Artists (YBAs) is applied to a loose group of British artists who began to exhibit together in 1988 and who became known for their openness to materials and processes, shock tactics and entrepreneurial attitude" e.g. Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin.

Question to explore with regard to my research:
What does it mean to be complicit within the market?

Technique/ Practise
Also contact Anne Povey in the makers lab to experiment using silver leaf or other leaf instead of silver spray paint to see if that makes a difference and furthers my practise.

Reflections:
Practise and research can be slightly separate at this stage. As long as I am making work and reading, the research will influence the work.
