Swing that Art Bat

A series of talks and workshops aimed at discussing cultural practitioners through the representation of the Art Bat metaphor. Many factors may decide an artist\\\'s weight and impact upon their peers as well as a larger public. Some of these may be their success, ability and reputation, longevity, and renown. It can be argued that the greater the weight of these factors, the greater the sway of the artist. What if the artist could concentrate all these factors into one object, whose weight and size was directly proportional to them. What if all artists had art bats?
