ing at major countries where such initiatives have taken root. We will now take a look at the presentation by the researcher and identify and comment on key components from it.

 

The researcher begins by outlining a general overview of what is meant by an artist run initiative and why and how they were formed and the underlining context behind them. She, by using the term artist run initiative, has tried to define it by taking into account the diverse meanings, from being an artist led organizations to small temporary projects but has only focused here on La Panaderia in Mexico which is an organization. Will the researcher take into account all the diverse connotations of such initiative in the course of her research or will she only concentrate on artist run organizations is not very clear. It might as well be worthwhile to look into all of these types and draw examples from them to make a wholesome assessment.

 

She mentions at one point that artist run initiatives “seek to operate independently from government’s interference as well as from the demands and banality of the art market”. Here however, a little explanation on what she considers “demands and banalities of the art market” is expected. Moreover, a clarification on why these demands and banalities affect artists so much as to create an alternative domain for themselves is also necessary since she continues to elucidate on the inherent concepts of artist run initiatives.

 

Continuing on this theme she mentions that there has been a “notorious proliferation of artist-run initiatives at a global scale”. My contention here would be twofold. First, it is not clear why she considers the rise in number of artist run initiatives “notorious”? Secondly, it is also not clear at this point whether the researcher wants to focus on the notoriety of the proliferation or on such initiatives in general. Further down the same paragraph, the researcher mentions peripheral regions of the world where such initiatives have spread. However, the regions have been demarcated into whole chunks such as the Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean along with countries such as Iran, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. It is not clear to this reader that whether whole continents could be so generalized. The term Latin America is also quite debatable as most of the countries in that area are actively trying to create their own unique identity and thus are trying disengage themselves from this generalization. Therefore the question arises whether to consider Latin American artist run initiatives but to focus primarily on Mexico, Argentina and Columbia be a true representation. Similarly Iran, Bangladesh and New Zealand are countries facing their own unique geopolitical conditions and are trying to carve out separate political identities and thus cannot be looked at with the same perspective. As an example, if we consider the Indian subcontinent as a peripheral region, we fail to look at the micro level geopolitics which leads to India as a centre and Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan being peripheries. Even in this framework all these peripheral countries are trying to carve ou本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
