RA Schools Symposium

About

NOTE: This event takes place at The Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BG

With Lucy Skaer, Angie Keefer, Nina Power, Cally Spooner and Natasha Soobramanien.

Reading in the Life Drawing Room is a one-day symposium concerned with the management of reading. Far from attempting to isolate writing as an autonomous (art) practise, the speakers address the linguistic 'poiesis' (making) as a model, or common denominator for constructions which may bind artistic practises to other things, places and professions. Language is a material that 'every one who ever has or is or will be living'* produces for the same means and ends: we all read, write, speak and listen to maintain the inter-dependency of our various occupations.

*'some time all of them will have the last touch of being, a history of them can give to them,'Gertrude Stein, The Making of Americans, being a history of a family's progress, 1925

This event is conceived and assembled by Jesse Ash and Will Holder.

Supported by the David Lean Foundation
