WORKSHOP

Art Writing

Monday 30 October and Thursday 9 November 2017

6pm-9pm

 

Proyecto AMIL and the editor Graham Watling are pleased to announce this open call aimed at artists, art students, curators, and writers, as part of the ART WRITING WORKSHOP.

 

This workshop in two sessions has been conceived as a sounding board for any text in progress, be it artist statement, exhibition description, press release, etc.

 

During the first meeting, on Monday, October 30, there will be a short presentation on the importance of clarity in writing as well as its possible art world applications, followed by a general discussion in which participants will be able to share and discuss their previous experiences in the field. Participants are encouraged to bring a text in any stage of development to submit to the editor, with the option to also share it with the rest of the participants.

 

In the interim between the first and second meetings, the editor will be in continuous contact with the writers, providing feedback and suggestions on their texts via email. Time permitting, there will be the chance to translate into English.

 

At the closing session, on the 9th of November, the texts turned in at the first meeting will be returned, and there will be a discussion of previously examined issues in light of the work done during the workshop.

 

Enrolment is free but space is limited. Please confirm your attendance at [email protected]
