I am interested in critical writing as a discipline to examine art practices concerned with social inclusion and participation. What are the strategies and methodologies needed to establish a framework that will allow communities and groups to become full participants and not just spectators in public art projects? I am beginning to understand the importance of the curatorial practice as a means of enquiry into such debates, as a method of critique and a broadening out how we see and experience art. Can the exhibition space be a tool for change, a forum that allows, encourages discourse or a way of maintaining and creating barriers? My research will investigate the practicalities of writing for magazines as well as exploring practices, writings and theories around the above themes.
