SHANE FINAN
This paper explores the role of transient artist-led spaces in Ireland, and looks to discern whether short- er-term initiatives may become a strong model for sustaining artist-led activity in Ireland. It focuses on identity of local places for individuals and societies, and the role that artist-led initiatives have in altering this identity.

Feelings Matter: How Curatorial Practice can be Informed by Insights on the Dynamics of Artists’ Emotional Experiences
PIPPA LITTLE, SARAH MOORE, MIKE FITZPATRICK
This article uses evidence from qualitative interviews with six visual artists. Analysing thier own accounts of their artistic processes, the research tentatively proposes that there may be a commonality of emotional experience when it comes to producing artistic work, specifically in relation feelings of engagement, disengagement, fear, a sense of constriction, freedom and relief. The implications of these findings for contemporary curatorial practice are explored.
