1. Create a set of criteria
which you feel could be used to describe the nature of your
practice. It is important that you attend the relevant
taught sessions in order to discuss the development and
application of such criteria as a means of researching a
contextual framework for your practice.
2. Using your set of criteria, research a long list of at
least 20 practitioners whose methods meet at least three of
five criteria. It is important at this stage to think
laterally in the application of the criteria and the
selection of the longlist. Look for
artists/writers/filmmakers/theorists working in a range of
different disciplines.
3. Having selected the longlist, make a shortlist of five
whose methods most closely reflect the spirit of the
criteria identified under 1. Again try not to choose the
most familiar examples, but study to find those people
whose methods and work may unexpectedly meet your criteria.
4. Record the process in your critical journal, making
certain that you keep a running list of key texts, artworks
and artefacts you have looked at in order to reach your
conclusions.
