Preface to the video Arts Based approaches don't only include ARTists and ArtWork as art-i-facts. The best example I have found of how this works has been a survey sources of inspiration. Instead of only seeing history through the lens of war or patterns of dehumanization, something amazing is ignited when "small successes" show how cultures of peace are advanced in the context of new economic realities. Even while I work on a new painting related to this blog post, I am also continuing to work on the Cultural Fusion House of Cards - collaborations (including Sponsor-Partners, co-creation partnerships, and alliances), structural design and arrangement of elements in the interior installations in support of happenings (events, meetings, trainings, performances, etc). No longer just an idea or vision of what could be, there are those happenings that lend themselves to these kind of explorations - that includes Source Artist and Art Based researchers, as well as leisure studies researchers, economists, small business owners/social entrepreneurs, freelancers, agriculturalists, hospitality professionals, travel services and everyone else that wants to join in. To understand how everyone finds their place it is probably helpful to consider a specific context and imagine where each one fits. Then in the context of research such as Cultural Fusion Art as Philosophy advocates, you would endeavor to test that out and evaluate the results as part of the art making praxis, putting into the cultural lexicon that some might call industry jargon based on that acting perspective...knowing that can always change. Watch this interview that looks through the economic lens at community change management by focusing on new metrics, system incentives that come from reframing for long term objectives.
