Description

Aims of the paper - Due to the rivalries and contestations present in the definition of contemporary art practice we ask how do ethnographers claiming to use art methods, understand the multiplicities of contemporary art research
To explore in which ways contemporary art practice resembles participant ethnography
To recognise the difference between the terms artistic methods and art practice
To reach a better understanding of how contemporary art practice can contribute to ethnographic processes with people
To ask if contemporary art can de-assemble and re-assemble the social in ways that conventional ethnographic methods might not be able to achieve
