I will give an artist talk for The Fine Art Department at University of Plymouth today, 6th March 2024. Titled, ‘Performance Process and Materials: Making Work Happen’ the presentation is aimed mainly at undergraduate Fine Art students.
“Using examples from my practice over recent years, I will look at how you might consider relationships between studio practice and making live art or performance, and how you might present live work. Projects develop differently, they originate from different beginnings or get nudged by circumstances. Work gets shared in different forms, to different audiences or contexts. Starting with process and materials, ideas we are familiar with from painting or drawing or moving image, I will discuss my engagement with text, actions, voice and body. Alongside this, I will talk about various platforms or ways of sharing and showing performance-related work.”
