Donal O’Donoghue

Summary:

This article is generally about paying close attention to artists’ work and practices and how that invites people to imagine different ways to conduct investigations. A good way to do this is through collaborative inquiry.

Main Points:

            - Paying close attention to work invites new ways to conduct inquiries.

            - There are many different qualities that artists’ use in production of work.

- Visual researchers might find it beneficial to understand new ways in which information is shared through visual means.

- Collaborative inquiry; different multiple strategies through different disciplines.

Example:

A good example from this essay is perhaps Presentation Sisters. I feel as though that this is a good example because of the commitment and attention paid to the embracement of different inquiries. Dean was committed to these different situations she found herself in:  engaged in effortful observation, embraced uncertainty, risked ambiguity, and was not afraid of not knowing.

Response:

For me this was an all right article. O’Donoghue, I felt, was a little bit repetitive. I would have liked a little more variety throughout the article. I did, however, find the three examples throughout the essay informative. I also think that it is important to pay close attention to artists’ work and practices. By doing that, it helps people to imagine different ways to conduct investigations.
