“Dear enthusiasts of group work and collaboration:

Please help us build a database of people working in arts and arts-related groups, collectives and movements.

Temporary Services has worked as a group since late in 1998. We are interested in the cultures of collaboration and collectivity within group practice.

While much recent attention has been given to these ways of working, few substantial documents have been produced that reflect the amount of work that has been accomplished. There is also a need for more writing on the inner dynamics of the group process: how collaborations are formed, how decisions are made, how conflict is resolved, and so on.

We are compiling the names, locations, and dates (when available) of art and arts-related groups, which can include those who work as curatorial collectives. We would like your help!
