BIO
Richardson’s PhD work titled: ‘Resolutely Inclusive: Merz Art Practice and Einfuhlung’ is long but has many pictures and explores an art practice as an archipelago of creative reinterpretations, visualizations and performative art actions weaving links between everyday and Art concerns. Is the art world a cult? What could it look like if guided by ethical protocols and if all participants were paid fairly?
