I also read to "Listening to the shapes of collaborative artmaking." I think we drew similar findings, which is comforting to me! I appreciated your world-view, where you specify 'like-minded" people. In this particular article, the author did indeed explore "like-minded" people working collaboratively to produce art, that is - for example six females who all want to examine gender issues. I wonder then, how would learning experiences change if people in the collaborative process were not like-minded? What if one wanted to explore gender-issues and another wanted to explore class struggle? Or even more extreme, one wanted to explore gender issues and another wanted to explore market relevance? Would the art-making process and learning experience change. I would expect so, and I'm wondering if the process would be more volatile than people of similar thinking working together.
