Artistic Research in a World on Fire
Artistic Research in a World on Fire is a series of talks, workshops, screenings, and live performances curated by Lucy Cotter in conjunction with the release of her new book, Reclaiming Artistic Research – Expanded Second Edition (2024). Cotter is a Stelo Arts project resident 2023-34.
About The Event
How is artistic research relevant to your artistic practice? Do you have to make research-driven work to do artistic research? Lucy Cotter reflects on artistic research as a paradigm shift that can enable artists to zoom out and identify and nourish the slow unfolding of artistic practice. Drawing on her new book, Lucy will place value on artistic processes at large, encompassing invisible research and activities outside of the production of artworks.
This event is open to the public - please RSVP by securing your free ticket below.
