SOCIAL
A common view of the artist is one of a loner, as one whos ‘mission’ is a solitary one. In this sense the artist can be seen as somebody who does not conform to the rule of society, but someone who is allowed to exist in a capsule, giving them certain privileges. By placing together two contrasting ideas or words, as used in the project, there is the possibility for the artist to undermine the idea of the ‘mission’. The single voice of the artist as separate and clear from society, becomes confused and unreadable, it is in here that the potential for the mobility of the artist seems most probable.

POLITICAL
Through the series of scenarios we have been working with we have been investigating ideas around arts production and expectations in the arts community of climax and/or the ultimate. We are interested in questioning or perhaps undermining systems of production in the art world. `What happens if we accept that the possibility of failure is innately part of the process what if we decide that confusion is something that is unavoidable, what happens if we work in a field that we have little or no experience in? How can we question notions of ‘good art’ or ‘smart art’ by a willingness to try out?
