An interdisciplinary anthology exploring alternatives to the principles of commercial markets that dominate contemporary life. The essays in this volume apply an experimental ethos to collaborative cultural production. Expanding the fields of art, design, and architectural research, contributors provide critical reflection on collaborative practice-based research. The volume builds on a pop-up market hosted by the London-based arts cluster Critical Practice that sought to creatively explore existing structures of evaluation and actively produce new ones. Assembled by lead editor Marsha Bradfield, the essays contextualize the event within London' s long history of marketplaces, offer reflections from the stallholders, and celebrate its value system, particularly its critique of econometrics. A glossary rounds off the text and opens up the publication as a resource.
Transacting as Art, Design and Architecture' s strength is the multi-vocal and comprehensive manner in which it approaches questions of market, marketplace and exchange. The book is also strengthened by the cacophony of voices that contribute to the imagining and enactment of a different kind of marketplace. In this sense, it is a tour de force, combining conceptual, practice and process-derived insights to offer an inspiring vision of being and living otherwise. -- Agnes Czajka, Senior Lecturer, Politics and International Studies, The Open University
Marsha Bradfield rides the hyphen as an archivist-artist-curator-educator-researcher-writer. She variously explores the subject of interdependence and works with groups including Critical Practice, Precarious Workers Brigade and Incidental Unit (the third iteration of the Artist Placement Group). Marsha is based at the University of the Arts London where she is a practice-based researcher teaching across art and design. Cinzia Cremona is an artist, researcher and Visiting Fellow at Macquarie University, Sydney in the multi departmental research group VISOR (Virtual and Interactive Simulations of Reality), where she is developing a 360 degrees video work. She experiments with the materiality of screens and remote intimacy in relational, networked, immersive, video and performance practices. Amy McDonnell is a curator, researcher and environmental campaigner whose practice engages with contemporary themes of collectivity, collaborative exhibition making and political participation. Amy completed a Ph. D. at Chelsea College of Arts in 2017 in curation in which she trialled models of self-organization with different on and off line platforms between a group of artists in Cuba and the United Kingdom. Eva Sajovic is a Slovene born artist photographer, living and working in London. Her focus is on socially engaged, participatory practice through which she explores the drivers of global displacement such as regeneration, poverty, trafficking, culture and climate change.
