Subject: artist-initated, artist-run, artists' spaces


For those of you who follow, are, or have in the past been engaged 
with artist-run centres or collectives or artist-initiated and 
organized projects, we are seeking submissions to a book about this 
milieu; the book will be a kind of profile, snapshot, cross-section 
with many short texts (3-500 words) by many many people (100+).

In particular we are looking for challenging, imaginative, 
future-oriented texts. It has always been the case that 
artist-initiated activities suffer extraordinary pressures 
(financial, administrative) but we are feeling that we are on the 
cusp of a kind of sea change in which artists work differently and 
have different organizational support needs; that is what we hope the 
book will address.
