More about Thinking Time:
Thinking Time was a special Artangel initiative, supported by the Freelands Foundation, that took place MayOctober 2020 to support selected artists in the research, reflection and development of their ideas during a time of suspension in the arts, and a global lockdown. Its prioritisation of process over production served to both refute the prerequisite of constant artistic productivity and centred a lesser known chapter of all Artangel commissions: the process of supporting artists in the cultivation of their ideas.
As part of Thinking Time, some of the artists and Artangel staff met monthly to catch up and check in on each other. These private meetings became locations for artistic solidarity and open discourse on issues affecting artistic practice today.
This series of talks are designed to bring some of the artists together over three conversations concerning the prevailing themes that arose during those private sessions. To approximate that sense of intimacy and transience, each talk will be live streamed at its scheduled time and then made available to watch the following morning for those who were unable to attend. The YouTube links are the same for both the original livestream and the window to watch the following morning.
