The engage Resource at the Stuart Hall Library, Iniva

About

A free evening event at Iniva's Stuart Hall Library, exploring the notion of the bibliography of gallery and visual arts education. Participants will have the chance to discuss their ideas and share their experiences through Iniva's ‘Spoken Skins' blog. Two guest speakers will address the following questions: ”¢ Are there key books and resources that have informed or developed the practice of gallery education and visual arts learning? ”¢ How are books chosen for reading lists for academic courses? ”¢ How relevant are the texts to practice in gallery learning? We are asking participants to consider what has informed their practice or work and discuss their suggestions. It could be a text, person, artwork, website, film, object… or a book! You can get involved by leaving a comment on the ‘Spoken Skins' blog at http://spokenskins.blogspot.com/2009/10/collection-of-practice.html#comments A collection of practice will be of interest to artists, educators, students and Library and Information professionals specialising in the visual arts. Chair: Veronica Sekules, Head of Education and Research at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia Guest speakers: ”¢ Paul Dash is Head of MA in Artist Teachers & Contemporary Practices programme, Goldsmiths, University of London ”¢ Yara El-Sherbini is an artist who uses contemporary popular culture to playfully explore art and life. Her interdisciplinary practice straddles live art, video and installation, using recognisable formats from board games, game shows, and pub quizzes, to auctions to open up ideas around what art is, can be and who it involves.
