Dave Poole Thesis Map

I'm starting the process of collecting work by artists I like and attempting to delineate a research path for writing a thesis. While I realize the thesis should embody the arc of work I've done in this two year period, I also realize that it needs to have an argument or statement that I support, so it can't simply be a chronicle of my work.

I've made the map below to help me organize some of the bigger picture stuff that I think I should be considering. I have a feeling that my current interest in installations and gallery space should have me researching some particular tangents (artists who do installation pieces, theoretical writings on the gallery and museum space and how artists' work interacts with it, etc...) but am not quite sure how to proceed.
