Follow the link to see an interesting book arts collaboration between Guy Begbie and Lawrence Upton.
About their collaboration they say;
The collaboration has continued beyond the Dundee commission and has produced both a range of realised and planned works; and, also, a colloquial meditation upon what it means to collaborate which declares itself through the works.
It involves considerations of conscious and unconscious decision-making, the integration of differing skills and the reconciliation of aesthetic assumptions in order to achieve empathy, which, they suggest, takes them beyond mere cooperation as they seek to merge what is, clumsily, called individual creativity to achieve what might seem to be, in effect, the work of one mind, what Burroughs and Gysin termed “a third mind”.
Their work, however, does not seek to remove, disguise or smooth over different physicalities; it retains its gestural origins.
