What do you all do?

Hovis Brown contextual practice isn't something you do, it's just something you study. basically it's someone who doesn't limit oneself to one particular type of art. there isn't this whole ethos of "i'm a sculptor", "i'm a painter", etc. it's more, i'm curious about "X" and i will prod it using whatever means necessary.

Hovis Brown placed in the correct context the above pic would make perfect sense. coming out of a dog or being hurled by a monkey at tourists, for instance. but placed on the head of a midget or trying to put it back where it came from: not so good. hence...it's all about context.

So like 'anything' can be 'art' if placed in the right context

So like an object like a spade or a pea can be 'art' when placed in the right context

and intangable things like a breeze or a smell or a sound

can also be 'art' if placed in the right context

and if you study 'contextual practice' you learn how to make

this kind of art outside the traditional boundaries

of painting, sculptur, music etc

So are there any contextual practioners that I can google ...?

Incidently I live about two minutes from the pompidou centre

maybe there is some stuff in there I can go and look at
