Both a study and a methodology, this book presents a synthesis, in tabular form, of the artistic processes of almost 700 international and French artists arriving on the scene between 1987 and 2011.
The artistic process, the core area of investigation here, is defined as the combined action between a Motor (what drives an artist to create) and a Means (the modus operandi they employ).
The model developed in this book offers a general map of the concerns driving contemporary artists and the processes through which these concerns translate into works of art. The reader will then be able to use this basis to further investigate what makes an artistic process original.
