The visual journal as post-studio practice

Abstract

In this article, we conceptualise a visual journal practise through an arts-based post-intentional phenomenological investigation and advocate for its inclusion across educational contexts. The discussion will focus on how the practice-oriented site of the visual journal, when made mobile and portable, can operate as a surrogate for the traditional visual artist’s studio, and therefore, transform the actions of making to ones that are post-studio (Baldessari & Knight, 1992). Within this context, we trouble the conventions of the studio/classroom site through an examination of the visual journal’s ability to offer socio-material, educational and integrative connections.
