Using language, play, research and collective exercises, we will disrupt familiar approaches to the Artist’s Statement, exploring writing as something that can be dismantled, interrupted, erased, reassembled and even made strange. Rather than treating text simply as a vehicle for communicating ideas, we will approach it as a material practice: something that can take up space, breathe, move, fragment, collide and transform. Through experimental exercises, we will consider what happens when writing is allowed to remain uncertain, unfinished or unresolved. We will use language not to explain a finished artwork, but to generate new possibilities for thinking, making and discovering.
What if an Artist’s Statement is not an explanation attached to the work, but another site where the work happens?
