The art world has long upheld the idea of the artist as auteur, often framing artistic success through individual authorship, solo exhibitions and the mythology of singular vision. At a time of increasing social fragmentation and rising living costs, this model feels increasingly untenable. Sustaining an artistic practice alone has rarely been more difficult. In response, artist collectives have emerged as vital networks of support, offering shared authorship and new ways of working. COLLECTIVISM brings these approaches into focus, presenting work shaped through collective thinking and cultural exchange.
