Speakers Lecturer programme:
The Lecturer usually invite some artists to come to the Lecturer to do some speak, introduce themselves and their works (The most representative)/jobs (past and right now, teachers or gallery)/area (interests)/how to success/style and process. Those artists are in the area of photographic, painting, sculpture and collage; most of their works are in the visual arts and contemporary art. My works/practices are about street photography (Black and white, shooting images on the street, some kind of contemporary art photography I think). Please write an 800 words reflective account between those Speakers (thinking, works) and my practices. You should do some research before the writing, those artists only.
Artist name:
1. Maria Fusco 2. Niall Macdonald 3. Luke McCreadie 4. Cecilia Stenbom 5. Rachel Maclean
Aim and Request:
To contextualise and understand. The structures, institutions, economies and networks that constitute the professional context of contemporary art, and to be able to explore and reflect on their own professional ambitions in this context.
Pick a topic that emerges from the Speakers Lecturer programme and write an in depth reflective text of around 800 words. You may elect to write about the practice of a single artist, or a theme that encompasses a number of speakers. You may wish to compare or contrast different artistic practices or positions.
The text can be enriched by engaging in some research before and after the lecture, to investigate in more depth the artistic practice or topic. Material may be available in catalogues, magazines and books as well as on-line resources.
The text should attempt to locate the artist’s practice, or some ideas underpinning the practice, in a wider artistic, cultural or social context. You may wish to discuss how the artist’s practice may relate to your own artistic interests.
