DESCRIPTION
Writing for Artists is a seminar that will introduce the key concepts and writing skills required by artists in the pursuit of their practice. It provides guidelines on how to write about one’s own work and also how to enhance their own artistic process through notebooking and diary writing.
The seminar will examine and critique case studies learning how best to write artists statements, press releases and project descriptions. In addition, it will explore more creative and critical forms of writing which allow the artist to critically evaluate their own work and position it within contemporary practice.
