Artists' Guides to the Study Room
As part of the continuous development of the Study Room we have commissioned a range of artists and commentators to write personal Study Room Guides to help navigate users through this resource.

The following Study Room Guides are available to read in the Study Room. Downloadable pdf files are also available below.

Rachel Lois Clapham of Open Dialogues is currently working on a forthcoming Study Room Guide on performance writing entitled Is it a Bird? Nestled in between performance, writing and documentation, lying in that elusive crack between art and theory, is a playful but rare animal. A creature that avoids classification, slips through the grasp of even the most dedicated and experienced artists and writers. As a species it is difficult to locate and almost impossible to imitate. It’s all around you in the Live Art Development Agency Study Room, and yet...
Clare Shucksmith has also produced a Young People's Resource Pack which is designed to guide and inspire teachers, educators and students through a range of physical and digital Live Art resources.
