Abstract

This article explores how those involved in leadership roles in institutional settings can make effective use of strategies, methods and processes common to visual arts practice and arts-based research as a means to participate in an authentic way in a culture of change. It is argued that, to claim institutional agency leaders of academic arts units need to create an alternative discourse to counter the fatigue of business rhetoric. This can be accomplished using a participatory approach that makes use of tactical action and the open-ended search structures of artistic enquiry. To move beyond the business of education, three notions of leadership are proposed that involve creating fluid working structures, participating so as to gain institutional agency, and putting initiatives into practice that enable others to thrive.
