RESERVED
reserved is currently a digital platform for all artists to review their own work, allowing an opportunity for introspection,
a chance to be self reflective on their project “post production” and retrospectively respond to the work.
this could manifest as a piece of writing. another form, in addition to writing, would be the “inter-review”... an opportunity to speak freely with questions to be developed by the artist.
statement:
as the nations leading publications historically and continuously move away from considering the personal accounts involved in art making when sharing
critiques, there leaves a lacuna of information and humanity yet to be discussed with any given work or body of work. instead of having two separate accounts, ie. interview vs. review, the existence of a platform where the artist interacts with themselves in thought to create a more rounded response to work is necessary. this could allow for audiences that would normally partake in these more established publications to experience a voice that is far less removed from the source.
terms:
if the artist decides to be critical, they do so with consent. when the artist decides to make a review there is already a mutual understanding that these pieces are shared to be read and discussed.
