Decision Making in Practice Research

Abandoned Chairs (photography and text). 14 September, 2023. ICA, London.

Its been a while since I last posted…I’ve been preoccupied with writing up my thesis. In September, I had the opportunity to exhibit a small piece of work connected to this PhD project at an event hosted at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Taking the form of photography and text, Abandoned Chairs was a playful provocation about decision making in practice research, questioning what constitutes the practice of a PhD, and what constitutes a documentation of the practice. I questioned whether photos (and the practice of taking of the photos) of abandoned chairs may or may not play a significant role in my final thesis Caring and Sharing: Rethinking Community Dance as a Curatorial Practice. 

Here is the exhibition text, and some documentation of the exhibition.
