ABSTRACT ‘Changing Play’ is an ongoing project initiated by education curators from the Serpentine, a prestigious London art gallery, working with the Portman children’s centre nursery. Viewed by curators as a collaboration between artist, children’s centre staff and parents, and the gallery, Changing Play combines art and action research, and expands the boundaries of the gallery. In the words of one of the education curators, ‘the project is about social change’. It is not for the gallery curators to develop proposals but to ‘co-develop work’. Ethnographic evidence employing narrative, visual arts informed analysis is being used by the gallery to report to funders, inform iterative planning and inform future directions. The paper focuses on methodological questions on ways in which ethnographers might meet artistic projects both during and after being in the ‘field’. It takes the form of a ‘loose parts’ montage which reflects the ways in which the art project was conducted.

改变玩法–早期艺术项目中的写作，研究和学习

摘要“ Changing Play”是一个正在进行的项目，由蛇纹石的教育策展人发起，蛇纹石是一家著名的伦敦美术馆，与波特曼儿童中心托儿所合作。策展人将其视为艺术家，儿童中心工作人员，父母与父母以及画廊之间的合作，Changing Play将艺术与动作研究结合在一起，并扩大了画廊的范围。用一位教育策展人的话说，“该项目关乎社会变革”。不是由画廊馆长提出建议，而是“共同开展工作”。艺廊正在使用采用叙事性，视觉艺术知情分析的人种学证据向资助者报告，提供迭代计划和未来方向。本文着重于方法学问题，即民族志学家在“田野”期间和之后如何满足艺术项目的方式。它采用“零散”蒙太奇的形式，反映了艺术项目的进行方式。
