The Art of Blogging

To celebrate the launch of Artists talking this month, in The art of blogging, Jane Watt explores the development of Projects unedited, a-n’s celebrated open space for artists’ blogs.

Since coming online in November 2006, a wealth of projects have unfolded day-by-day on Projects unedited, giving unique insights into artists’ practice and experiences.

Writing about Projects unedited in The art of blogging, Jane Watt says:

“It is through the Unedited series of user-generated material that a seismic shift in the development and publication of the artist’s voice is occurring… encouraging artists to make public their discussions and critiques on art and practice, as well as allowing scope for commentary and coverage of work that is well beyond the practical reach of a traditional journal format.”
