Irene,
Thanks for that heads up. Another plus for this UK organization
(Arts and Humanities Data Service http://ahds.ac.uk/collections/index.htm).
I've made use of this service for both the Visual and Performance aspects of
my research.
I don't know how they get their funding, but how great that this is
available without subscription

To: [log in to unmask]
WHY ME? ARTIST'S USE OF SELF IMAGE is a new research database available from
AHDS Visual Arts.
The database contains the names of over 340 artists worldwide who feature
their own physical presence within the artworks they present. The database
was constructed in 2007 by Anne Seagrave, artist and AHRC Fellow with the
Research Institute, School of Art and Design, University of Ulster in
Belfast.
The database is a unique resource for researchers and the arts world. As
Seagrave explains, "there's only a very small amount of reference material
covering artists' use of self-image. You can find some information about
self-portraiture in painting and photography and a fairly small amount
dealing with live art, but there's nothing that links different artists who
choose to use self-image. More importantly, there is an enormous amount of
creative contribution out there which is not represented in the glossy
magazines and publications found in galleries and art school libraries."
For more information and to access the database visit:
