paul antick edit (as are all these blogs):

the authorship issues’s an interesting one here. because it’s an art project, and, as such, demands some kind of named author, preferably an individual, noone involved has thus far questioned the fact that my name should be the designated name of the ‘author’. it is the case that the project originated with me and has largely been sustained by – for want of a better word – my ‘enthusiasm’ for it. however, whether any of this justifies my referring to myself as the author, or the project referring to me as such, i’m not sure. apart from the numerous individuals who have had a significant – if not a directorial – input i have to say that syd shelton (designer) might as well be referred to as co-author, certainly of the billboards. i say this now because we, or he, perhaps we (!/images/medium/missing_file.gif(Missing resource ’?), have come up with some redesigned versions of the billboards which i’ll be posting on this website soon. we have taken on board various remarks made about the size of the title text and increased it accordingly, whilst reducing the size of the website address. in addition, tacking along the side of the posters we have the legend: ‘photography: paul antick, design syd shelton’. so i guess that settles it’)! which is perhaps to say that the authorship of each of the project’s constituent parts – posters, website, symposia – tends to be rather fluid. perhaps then ‘editor’ would be a better word than ‘author’.
