This methodology is one that leverages its pedagogical setting and tools, to directly address and engage small, localised audience groups. Through practice, the research has presented what I term a ‘study’ of the Melbourne artist group Damp (established 1995).The PhD presented the curatorial project 'Art holds a high place in my life | Damp: study of an artist at 21' which took place on the Monash University Caulfield campus throughout the 2016 academic year. Rather than a monographic exhibition, the ‘study’ models an alternative version of the retrospective survey.
