[syndicate] Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices. A Survey.

Sun Aug 5 18:41:06 CEST 2007

With the project Art Following the Trend? Artists' Voices. kanonmedia 
researches the role and positions of the contemporary artists in the 
society she/he feels belonging to. On the one hand, video interviews 
are an important module of this project, the other important part is a 
study focussing especially on the positioning of fine/experimental 
artists in the context of Creative Industries. The third module 
consists of a questionnaire on the theme like inserted below.

We happily receive your contributions - please just fill in the 
questionnaire and send it back to us by replying on this email (please 
give your answers in German or English). We are also thankful if you 
would like to forward the questionnaire to other artists as we are 
hoping to be able to evaluate at least 100 questionnaires. The poll is 
anonymous, the email adress from where you reply to our email is kept 
in full confidence and in no way is included in the evaluation of the 
questionnaires. The results of the survey will be part of the study Art 
Following the Trend? Artists' Voices. and will be published online -
