Abstract or Description

Modalities of Exchange is the final report of Skills Exchange, a collaborative art and social research project that took place between January 2007 and April 2012 led by The Centre For Possible Studies, an artistic residency, community research space, and popular education program in the Edgware Road neighborhood. The report reviews the way in which art is discussed in social care and social care is discussed in art. Surveys five case studies and the ways in which participants re-shaped the original project aims, identifies Modalities of Exchange developed across the studies and summarises them for consideration by funders, policy makers, care-workers, administrators of organisations of art and care. Through five embedded multi-year residencies, Skills Exchange projects tested the idea that isolation and discrimination are best addressed if artists, older people, care-workers and others exchange their skills on equal ground, altering roles, representations and well-rehearsed relations through processes of creative exchange. The report is included in the book Art + Care: A Future, Art + Care: A Future is a publication that speculates on future alliances between the fields of art and elderly care. Featuring essays by key thinkers on issues of ageing and the future, and is contextualised by case studies from five years of the Serpentine Gallery's work in placing artists, designers, researchers and architects in the field of elderly care. Available from Serpentine Galleries and Koenig Books.

Written by Alison Rooke. Developed in collaboration with Janna Graham. Researchers: Cristina Garrido Sanchez, Ananda Furlauto, Laura Cuch, Mara Ferreri and Katey Tabner.
