Nicholas Morris, Randnotizen: Notes from the edge  The practice of ‘art’ – taken here to mean communication through the expressive manipulation of objects – is the flash-lit tracing of a fragmentary map: like an arrow shot or a line drawn from point to point on a surface, an artwork flares to briefly illuminate the location of the artist and his or her imagination for the waiting receiver.

On 5-6 February 2013, the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam (KIT, Royal Tropical Institute) hosted the project conference ‘Sustainable Art Communities: Creativity and Policy in the Transnational Caribbean’. This is part of a two-year international research project led by Dr Leon Wainwright (The Open University, UK), with Co-Investigator Professor Dr Kitty Zijlmans (Leiden University), funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC, UK).
