The Cowboy and the Cleaning Lady
Starting point for a research about equivalents to artistic role and proposals for wastelands in their use. Research is contained within a blog acting as a digital library and archive and collected in a manner akin to an online sketchbook. The Cowboy and the Cleaning Lady blog will include references from books, gaming, websites and other artist projects.
Possible artistic roles or equivalents
The artist as a hero- cowboy/indian/cosmonaut/ Pippi Longstocking
The artist as a cleaning lady
The artist as a transient, a homeless person, a nomad
The artist as a symbiote, as a parasite
About wastelands

Is the wasteland still something worth fighting for?
Illegal and legal colonization of public space and wastelands : are they ‘safe grounds’ or invasions?
