    Three Act Plays
    Bailey, Matthew John ( 2021)
    Three Act Plays is a practice-led Master of Fine Arts (Visual Art) research project that considers how sculpture and performance combine to act as metaphor for audience/viewer relations. The research explores what it might mean to subjectivise or flatten these relationships within an interdisciplinary practice, and incorporates analysis of works that use cross disciplinary moments to further interrogate the discussion. Through sculptural and performance video works created throughout the research, the project seeks to elaborate upon definitions of the ‘backstage’, the ‘prop’, the ‘rehearsal’, and ‘the audience’ as a way to explore a space of inter-subjectivity. The dissertation addresses these tropes via a re-reading of Michael Fried’s influential 1967 essay ‘Art and Objecthood’, prompting a critical re-evaluation of the relationships between sculpture and performance.

    Begotten, not made: availing and performed sites for a poetics of being
    Dyson, Greg ( 2013)
    This research has taken a practice-led form. The questions and issues are those arising in and through the practice of an artist working in live performance and were formed in and through personal, practical experience. The researching artist has undertaken a period of time- approximately two years- during which heuristic and creative data has been allowed to ascribe itself on various media and on the artist’s attending perceptions and responses. Seemingly disparate drawings, vocal and physical scores, text fragments and audio atmospheres were assembled and presented as a live creative work. The thesis presents an exegetical overview of the practices engaged and investigates the pathways common to arising and intentionality; their capacity to affirm and deny in the receiving artist’s experience and their capacity to conjoin the self with their intentions to abreact synergistic phenomena involved in the formation of imagined and actual poetic sites for their realisation.
