Collaborating

Below is a link to a short, blunt, and sweet article on collaboration. I not only agree that the tensions inherent in collaboration moves the work and individual practice forward, there is a complex and wonderful freedom in ceding direct authorship. By giving up authorship, subject and content can predominate.

Did you read the article in BAT magazine responding to Fischer's? It is appropriately titled, "For Competition", by Jeff M Ward and is found in issue 3.
Here is a link to a pdf of the issue: http://www.batjournal.com/Issue%203/BAT%20-%20Issue%203.pdf
I thought it was really fascinating...

Thank you for the link. Not only have not not read the article, I did not know of the publication.

Thanks,

Amber
