DIAGRAM TOPICS

We are currently working on explaining our findings diagrammatically to address the following issues:

1. Questioning Relevance and Permanence

-Demonstrating locations of art centres situated where main roads meet and percent for art scheme concentrating on very visible art prodution at the side of roads
-The inverse rural space inbetween these roads, how are they affected and how culture is produced and funded differently
-Appropriate spaces for cultural production and questioning the need for a permanent art/cultural space

2. Cultural Expense

-Outreach in relation to funding intake of an institution
-Where the funding comes from - top down or bottom up
-Difference between agricultural activities attendance
-Location and proximity of users and how regular they visit or use the places
-Where is the cultural produced (is it brought in or produced on site)

3. Congregation

-Changing of congregational places through time
-Migration of people both rural - urban, north - south, Ireland - international
-Changing monuments, spiritual places and their location

4. Choice and Cycles

-Nature vs Nurture
-Born into a certain culture such as a farming or academic family
-Border differences, restrictions of cultural crossings
-The importance of choice when interacting with the arts and culture
