A warm welcome to our new curator Ben Jones. Ben is currently undertaking a PhD at the Culture Lab, Newcastle University. His research looks into the possibilities of ‘collective action’ within a community through the use of digital media. A topic which is, amongst others, very relevant to the art practices of Huntly.
Ben will curate the next 8 sessions under the title of SELF-ORGANISATION.
Ben wrote: "I would like to frame the texts around Self-organisation looking into collaboration, collectivism and cooperation. The text is 'There is no alternative: THE FUTURE IS SELF-ORGANISED' by Stephan Dillemuth, Anthony Davies and Jakob Jakobsen. It's read like a manifesto and quite easy to read but thought it would be good as an introduction to the topic."
