The Changing Roles of the Artist

Abstract

My MA Thesis is about the roles an artist can take on in the art scene of today whether it’s as an individual artist or as a community artist. In my research I look at how online communities, social media, technological advancements and subjects such as the environmental crisis, changes the artist’s role.

My aim with my studies is to create a better understanding of the changes in the art world and how to make active career choices and redefine work methods based on these findings.
