Open Access

 Open Access is the new trend, and it is good this is happening! 

But which are the costs? I understand the question might arise some philosophical dilemmas and possible answers. Beyond them, in terms of economics, publishing open access implies costs supported by publishing houses, but also by contributors.

I have published two articles open access. One for Critique of Anthropology (with Robert Deakin, Socialist Fragments East and West) and one for Anthropology & Aging (Keeping the Elderly Alive). 

In both cases, the costs were supported by the Publishing Houses, not by myself. 

But today, I receive the first invitation to publish an article in an edited book (about museums) where the authors/ contributors are asked to pay for what they publish. 

Please take a look at this proposal. Those of you who are interested need to pay 890 GBP for a chapter.

Exhibition Makers

 

Rather than curators

To marl the distinction between care and preservation of collections, from the exercise of display.

Frequency is freedom!

A wonderful website - with wonderful stories of people. Images do matter! Because images contribute to the stories one tells.

Everything Must Go. Exhibition 2012 (as part of the Waste of the World project)

http://www.holymountain.co.uk/other-stuff/everything-must-go/


A public exhibition and event, taking place at The Bargehouse on London’s South Bank in January 2012,  that brought artists and academics together to tell the story of our worn clothing as it passes through charity shops and recycling bins and is sold into the global marketplace.

It’s the culmination of a five year academic social science project ‘Waste of the World’. The exhibition brought invisible global waste economies into public view, revealing the people involved and how the trade impacts upon their lives. 
As the academic process drew to a close, we came in to devise a way of telling the story to a wider public.

Everything Must Go was curated by anthropologist Dr Lucy Norris and artist Clare Patey, produced by Boz Temple-Morris with Tiphaine Tailleux and included photography by Tim Mitchell, workshops by Lizzie Harrison, film by Meghna Gupta and design by Brighten the Corners.

We also hosted a discussion series, ‘Talking Rubbish’, where researchers, designers, filmmakers, business entrepreneurs and third sector leaders came together to critically engage with the issues raised and the implications for the way in which we think about our old clothing.

Visualisation of complex information

Is it enough to think complex ideas, if these ideas do not reach the public?
How information is transmitted, synthetized and publicised are also three very important factors we need to bear in mind.
LA LOMA designed some great exhibitions/ projects, from The Fascinating World of the Piano (http://laloma.info/en/projects/faszinationklavier), visual tactics for protests and activists, The Glass Room pop-up expo (about looking into your online life https://theglassroom.org/) and many others.
