Abstract

Are you LOCATIONALIZED was developed in response to ideas around location and audience that come into play when contemporary art is commissioned in places that are perceived as geographically remote. The project is a development in the collaborative contemporary art practice of Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan (Tatham is a Reader at The Royal College of Art).

The research aimed: to challenge conventions and disrupt expectations surrounding art produced in purportedly remote locations; to challenge and critique notions of specialness that can attach themselves to particular locations; and to produce a singular artwork that incorporated a number of disparate strategies and forms over geographically separated locations.
