This paper seeks to interrogate some of the different levels
of 'invisibility' present within interdisciplinary collaboration, and how
these might be made manifest and tangible. This practice-based research
is being carried out by the author, at Dartington College of Arts, as part
of the FDTL Project Assessing Group Practice.
With the aim of creating an environment in which the methodologies of interdisciplinary collaborative practice inform approaches to assessment, and where the values of artistic praxis are embodied in assessment processes, the author has worked in studio contexts with undergraduate students, MAs and recent graduate practitioners in this study.
The initial stages of the research have identified areas of particular significance, which form the basis for this paper, and for related ongoing work which seeks to identify key values of interdisciplinary collaboration, and to explore ways in which those values can be clearly 'visible' for students in the assessment of their emerging practice.
