Documenting.Process - Three.Phase.Center

"DOCUMENTING PROCESS is a video series that aims to build dialogue around the value of process as a way to challenge the institutional methodologies that typically exploit and restrict artwork and processes that are difficult to quantify and commodify.

The series tracks the approach and value of process-based conceptual artists who are compelled to work in responsive, intuitive, reflexive and instinctive ways that inhabit social, financial, and institutional peripheries. The series intends to collect data that can be used to identify, differentiate, and authenticate the essential value of these subtle structures of process and approach to problem solving with materials, actions, and non-linear language that artists engage with.

The documentary format tracks the artist's process as they evaluate potential outcomes, problems, and utilities of the project. The artists will identify the unexpected and expand upon any new directions their work might take. Upon completion, the artist discloses their findings, illuminating what new information emerged and how this work might inform their next project or how it may be useful in other ways"
