More reading again today for the thesis. It is intriguing to read of the research that Pierre Bourdieu has done; and how a lack of artistic familiarity and education can effect the way people feel about museum visitation. Have also done some research on the artist/professor Alastair Maclennan; he is a well known contemporary artist who works in performance art, something which myself and collaborating colleague Mathilde are undertaking at the moment. Michael s Reidel is another artist I have been researching, he parodies other artist's exhibitions. He has done a send up of a Simon Starling's work too.
