A side effect of artist doctorate-ness, Booked! posits and projects a new quasi-academic discipline, “Booking Studies,” where the sloping topologies of Bookings are harnessed as forward-leaning inclinations for setting immersive research cultures in motion, and building resonant educational dwellings. Spinning at the centre of Lochhead’s PhD dissertation and portfolio, “An Artist’s Almanac to Research, Organization, Education and Bookings, the Booked! exhibition warps its writing about artistic knowledge, organizational theory, sound studies and curriculum design around its unruly gravity, while delivering a crash course on the operative vocabularies of Booking Studies, such as Booker-Resource Relations, Counter-Itineraries, the Site of Actual Realization, and Hyperbolic Cognition, outlining their various applications. Learn it in a heartbeat!
