Mesh: a wiki for everything you wished you learned in art school
Welcome!
On this platform, you can add your own artist-related resources, find answers to specific questions, or just have a browse and connect with people. The more users a wiki has, the more valuable of a resource it can become. We hope you enjoy using this site and encourage you to make use of its tools to shape your own art-worlds and connect with people in your local area and beyond.
The joy of wikis it that enables everyone to be both a contributor and a user, which makes it easy to share ideas and resources around a specific purpose. If you've never contributed to a wiki or online resource before, don't worry - this guide shows you how to get started
Through highlighting and valuing what we already have and sharing this knowledge with others, we're exploring ways of coming together, shaping our own art-worlds and developing alternative notions of success.
If you're feeling very stuck and want to speak directly to someone, message us on Discord by join the Mesh Discord server .

About
What is a wiki?
Wikis are websites or databases developed collaboratively by a community of users, allowing any user to add and edit content. They are well suited for gathering knowledge from multiple perspectives, and for sharing information that is evolving. You can find out more about wikis here (on the most well-known wiki of them all, Wikipedia), and explore some examples of other wikis which have inspired us:
Into the Wild
This wiki was instigated by Chisenhale Studios' artist development programme 'Into the Wild'. The taught programme is opened up through initiatives like this wiki, so that other artists can connect with the ideas, information and thinking that’s shared during the programme.
These documents are collaborative, creative interpretations of the ideas which have inspired the wiki, produced by the 2020 Into the Wild cohort.
