In recent years, there has been a growing interest in artist-led collectives with high-profile recognition within contemporary art mega festivals, prizes, and biennials. Yet, these amorphous entities and initiatives tend to be framed either through their politically motivated actions or as a critique of the notion of the single author or ‘artist-as-genius’ mythology. This article builds upon this discourse to shift the emphasis onto both interpersonal and socio-political relationships that constitute artist-led collectives in order to explore their complex role in convening and placemaking and what this might mean for both policymaking and research.

召集的力量：理解作为地方召集人的艺术家主导的集体实践

近年来，人们对在当代艺术大型节日、奖项和双年展中获得高知名度的艺术家主导的集体越来越感兴趣。然而，这些无定形的实体和倡议往往是通过其政治动机的行动来构建的，或者是对单一作者或“艺术家即天才”神话概念的批判。本文以这一论述为基础，将重点转移到构成艺术家领导的集体的人际关系和社会政治关系上，以探讨他们在召集和场所营造中的复杂作用，以及这对政策制定和研究可能意味着什么。
