Make the context visible
Explain your actual contribution, place of practice and intended audience. Keep private client information out of a general proposal.
ITAA / CONVERSATION / 01
The work & its source
An artistic exchange begins with authorship.
01
THE SUBJECT
Artistic exchange with the source intact
Bring an original paper study or authorised work and explain the visual question you want to discuss. Identify your contribution and the reference before asking others to interpret the result.
A community conversation is not a practical authorisation, qualification or evidence of another person’s competence. Keep the account specific to the work and leave technical questions with the responsible qualified source.
WHAT THE CONVERSATION NEEDS
A sharper question.
A clearer boundary.
- Which work can I authorise?
- What visual relationship interests me?
- What lies outside this discussion?
FROM AN IDEA TO AN ARRANGEMENT
Agree the terms
Ask who reviews the proposal and what permissions, format, costs and publication arrangements apply. No activity is scheduled by submitting a draft.
Keep a useful record
Agree how contributions are attributed and what may be retained or shared. A discussion is not a professional credential or practical authorisation.
