Vernacular

Is the artist / curator-led sector simply a strategy of self-empowerment or does the artist-led sensibility utilise and inhabit a singular idiosyncratic language, a territorial specificity? A visual and organisational vernacular orientated towards the interests of self-organising artists and curators as opposed perhaps to the market or the institution? And if so, what does – or what could – it look like?
