Art and Archaeology by Mike Pearson

Art and Archaeology by Mike Pearson

This volume presents a collection of interdisciplinary collaborations between contemporary art, heritage, anthropological, and archaeological practitioners. Departing from the proceedings of the Sixth World Archaeological Congress's 'Archaeologies of Art' theme and Abhar agus Meon exhibitions, it includes papers by seminal figures as well as experimental work by those who are exploring the application of artistic methods and theory to the practice of archaeology. Art and archaeology: collaborations, conversations, criticisms encourages the creative interplay of various approaches to 'art' and 'archaeology' so these new modes of expression can contribute to how we understand the world. Established topics such as cave art, monumental architecture and land art will be discussed alongside contemporary video art, performance art and relational arts practices. Here, the parallel roles of artists as makers of new worlds and archaeologists as makers of pasts worlds are brought together to understand the influences of human creativity.

Pearson, Mike: - Having grown up as a foreigner in Hong Kong, Mike is accustomed to observing the world around him from an outsider's perspective. Forced to work extra hard to create understanding between himself and others, Mike turned to articulating his thoughts through writing. This has engendered a deep passion for self-expression through fiction. As a high school English teacher, Mike takes great joy in encouraging younger writers to bring their own fictional worlds to life. Mike's stories include a wide range of influences from his lifetime of gaming, travel, reading and misadventures.
