The genesis of BLURRED BOUNDARIES was motivated by my personal interests in a variety of creative disciplines and the desire to explore practices that concern inter-disciplinarity. Studying Product Design as my undergraduate degree I was disappointed with the lack collaboration between the design and art (fine and applied) departments; since I have pondered how my practice would have differed if an approach similar to that of the Bauhaus movement would be more prevalent within the art school syllabus.
“The Bauhaus strives to bring together all creative effort into one whole, to reunify all the disciplines of practical art-sculpture, painting, handicrafts, and the crafts-as inseparable components of new architecture. The ultimate, if distant, aim of the Bauhaus is the uni-field work of art in which there is no distinction between monumental and decorative art.”

Question:
1. From your experience do you think there should be more collaborative interaction between creative disciplines within the Art School structure? If so what do you think the main benefits would be?
2. Can you identify current of previous exhibitions, publications, projects, communities etc that tackled the issue of cross disciplinarity? How would you rate their success?
Examples:
What If? Art on the Verge of Architecture and Design - Exhibition
If You Could Collaborate - Exhibition
Jotta - Digital community exploring collaboration in contemporary art and design
