Drawing on a history of instructional practice in art and in teaching and learning, No Working Title (2009-2016) provoked dialogue / exchange between student artists, academics and curators, in which participants exchanged instructions for making artworks. Throughout eight consecutive years a total of just over two hundred and fifty students from a total of ten UK art schools exchanged instructions for making artworks and met to discuss their findings. With thanks to Camden Arts Centre and Tate for hosting events.

In its final iteration No Working Title was manifested as a large scale co-operative performance event, drawing sixteen hundred visitors.  Textual and audio calls to action activated public participation and the work and dialogue of undergraduate fine art students was scrutinised by guests for evidence of the process learning.

Arising from a curiosity about the habits of artists, The Inventory of Behaviours is an ongoing collaborative project comprised of multiple parts; through a collection of artists’ responses to a callout and the subsequent staged participatory events that bring their rituals and habits in to sharp focus, we propose that the ordinary behaviours of artists may have much to tell us about how art is made and learning is experienced:

At blipblipblip, a two-week participatory performance event was designed to explore the daily routines and otherwise un-accounted for activities of internationally acclaimed, early career and student artists. Instructions are enacted by undergraduate Fine Art students from 6 UK courses culminating in an exhibition. Supported by Kingston University, Bath Spa University.

At Tate Exchange, a week-long participatory performance event was designed to explore the daily routines and otherwise un-accounted for activities of internationally acclaimed, early career and student artists. Instructions are enacted and performed by young people, community groups, students and commuters. A platform discussion comprising an artists, educational psychologist, neuroscientist, art writer and ethnographer focussed on what the Inventory of Behaviours reveals about the conditions of the production of artworks today.  Supported by Freelands Foundation / Tate Exchange / Kingston University, Bath Spa University.
