Mapping Cultural Stimulus: New Community Terrain

Authors

  • Ken Blackburn Campbell River Arts Council

Abstract

Rather than locating culture in a fixed place, like a gallery or a museum, this paper argues that it is to be found in the interstices.  In astronomical terms, culture isn’t the stars:  it is the ‘dark matter’ that binds and makes up most of our existence.  To take the analogy further, culture is the invisible without which there is nothing(ness).
