Mary Anne Francis

Is 0.5 Research Fellow in Critical Practice at Chelsea College of Art & Design

Particularly identified with the following projects on this site:

Systems: Art and Collaboration - for which she is the co-ordinator

Open Congress - in the capacity of co-organizer and presentor (for the latter, see: http://opencongress.omweb.org/modules/wakka/Art)

Other relevant projects:

Dirty Work: Art Beyond Autonomy - an article written for the 'Journal of Visual Arts Practice'. It looks at definitions of 'autonomy' and discusses the usefulness of the term 'post-autonomy' to describe the rise of artists 'working in the world', with non-art forms in particular. For the properly formatted text see JVAP Vol 6.1 - the text is presented here with permission from the publishers.

'On not using Derrida'

a lecture that I gave to research students on the RNUAL (Research Network University of the Arts London) programme

Critical Congress (n)

a series of events that 'converge' a) participatory social structures b) non-art venues c) reflection upon 'Critical Practice' and what that might mean... in a convivial atmosphere.

Mary Anne is facilitator, developer, mentor and contact point for other Critical Practice projects in her role as Critical Practice Research Fellow.
