tbC artists make and present artwork together. Collaborative and joint authorship practices prioritise the work young tbC artists make ahead of their emerging identities. This practice liberates young artists from the constraints of their biographies and advances earlier artistic agency and status. While the identities of tbC’s young artists emerge over time, a positive reception continues.
tbC artists make and present collaborative and jointly authored artworks that focus on the visual, public, digital and publishing arts. Artistic processes and outcomes develop from catalyst moments in the studio and via the many social, cultural and informal learning experiences resulting from group practice.
Young artists at tbC often claim they have more success in building artistic agency and status as a group than when practicing alone, arguing that the group dynamic offers them a power base they can’t find in solo practice.
Together, tbC artists are building earlier artistic agency and status.
