adjunct

I’m sat here writing a paper about interdisciplinary practice. As part of this I’ve been quite critical of ‘adjuncts’ between artists and scientists promoting themselves as ‘collaborations’ between artists and scientists.

For what I mean by ‘adjunct’, you need to read MACDONALD CROWLEY, AMANDA (2003), Creative Encounters: The Art/Science of Collaboration to see what she means by it. (.pdf file)

So, here I am working as artist in residence as part of the Interdisciplinary Support Program. Am I adjuncting, or am I collaborating?

At this stage I suspect it’s the former.

note to self: probably not an Interdisciplinary Artist, but maybe an Artist Working on the Subject of Interdisciplinary Practice. For now. Let’s see what happens…
