Many creative people have extensive experience in developing strategies to deal with a shortage of money or other resources; taking the initiative is business as usual. So a recession does not necessarily mean opportunities dry up, instead it can be a chance to reconfigure; to work out creative solutions in finding ways to exhibit work. Penelope Benton, Amy Griffiths and Jane Naylor discuss how artists can take the initiative.
Amy Griffiths is currently undertaking a Master of Art Administration Honours at COFA and her thesis is titled, ‘The Systemisation of Australian Artist Run Initiatives’. Formerly, she was the gallery manager of Sydney ARI, Chalk Horse. Currently, Griffiths works in the marketing and communications department at COFA. In addition, she works freelance, managing artists, occasionally teaching art to primary school students, and at times writing for various publications.
Penelope Benton is a photographic artist, curator, arts administrator and COFA alumni. On top of running Arc@COFA, the local student organisation, she has just completed a two year term on the Board of Directors at Sydney’s longest running ARI, Firstdraft Gallery. In the last year, Benton and four other women have converted an empty inner-west warehouse into The Red Rattler, an artist and activist run space with an eco-plan.
Jane Naylor describes herself as an Independent Art Tactician. She holds the titles of Administrative Branch Manager of The Ekphrastic Agency, (a free art service which conducts ‘customisations’ in non gallery venues), the Local Area Network Administrator of Snack Art (vending machines which work as alternative art galleries) and the Operations Research Director of The Leichhardt Academy of Style and Health. Naylor is currently undertaking her PhD in Fine Arts at COFA.
