Mark Friedlander is an artist based in Melbourne (Naarm), Australia undertaking their
PhD with the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Fine Art and Music. Their
research interest is: To what extent and in what kinds of ways do management of risk
and other associated bureaucratic procedures shape the production, reception, and
interpretation of works of art? With a broader practice that considers the affordances
of materials, correspondence of objects and sculptural space.
Artists commonly fulfil risk management obligations when working with institutions. I am interested in bringing together my experience and my research question to these negotiations so that we can understand how the aesthetics of their work, and their practice, are being impacted by these processes.
