Abstract / Summary

In 'Proximity, Performance and Possibilities' CJ Mitchell and Rupert Loydell look back at moments of confluence, influence, crossover and synergy between the arts – particulary music and performance– since the 1980s to the current day, as well as the nature of business and finance in relation to small presses, performance and arts funding in general. Drawing on their own friendship, shared and differing experiences, they chart a personal course through a history of alternative arts culture, the rise of the digital, and shifts and digressions in audience expectations, arts management and arts funding.

CJ Mitchell has been General Manager of the Centre for Contemporary Arts in (Glasgow); Administrative Director of the Master of Arts in Arts Administration programme at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago; Company Manager of Goat Island Performance Group (Chicago); Executive Director of the Links Hall performance space (Chicago); and since 2009 has been Co-Director at the Live Art Development Agency (London).

In the 1980s, CJ edited the photocopied, 100 copies per issue, Magazing; worked one day a week at Echo Records on Byres Road in Glasgow (alongside working Mon-Fri in an accountancy firm); and worked on a Masters in Cultural Studies, including a dissertation on Spiderman. He has been a Chartered Accountant since 1987.
