Field
Study is an international Mail
Art group begun in 1993 by David Dellafiora and Benedict Phillips.
Since its inception, Field Study members have been involved in a variety
of projects, including group shows, performances, installations, bookworks,
sound art, solo activities and community work. For some live projects
see the
Field Study International blog. Each year members send 100 A5 pages as their contribution to the Field
Report; in turn they receive a copy of the report. This publication
- 'The Journal of Field Study International' - is assembled and distributed
by David Dellafiora who also places it within archives (such as Artpool),
libraries and collections. The current list of members runs to over
200. Field
Study members with their own websites include: Martha
Aithchison, Keith
Bates, Mark
Pawson and Benedict
Phillips
Field Study terms (
- taken from a description in the 1995 Field Report):
'Field Study originates from a decision made in 1993 to reclaim
the negative spaces on a CV i.e. the gaps. By claiming these gaps,
'Time' is seen as whole and continuous, this we call The Field.
Thoughts formulated from data from The Field is known as
Field Study. Activities stemming from Field Study
become Emanations and group emanations resulting in events
as Manifestations, returning full circle back into The
Field'.
Anyone wishing to join Field Study and/or take part in its activities
