GOWKSTANE PROJECT WE ARE HERE SUMMER 2011

The Gowkstane summer project is designed to bring together a diverse group of people to work towards the creation of an as yet undefined artwork to be exhibited in the Garioch area in late Summer 2011.
Through a series of collaborative Sketchbook Sessions, field trips and discussions the participants will work towards the creation of the work collectively.
The project will actively explore current theories and trends in contemporary art to further the creation of the artwork, but the participants need not come from an artistic or creative background. The sharing of diverse skills and ideas will drive the project in unexpected and exciting directions.
As nominal lead artist in the project, I will organise materials and space for running the project. After the initial meeting all participants will decide on the content of future Sketchbook Sessions. I will then prepare short course notes and where possible compile an online reading list for the following meeting.
This pamphlet is a quick introduction to the concepts of  the Sketchbook Sessions and an outline for the development of the project. 


Everything else is up for discussion.
