A practical workshop about promoting your work for a range of different audiences and outcomes by using language effectively and avoiding jargon. Led by artist and writer Alistair Gentry.
The session looks at:
– Tips and tricks for communicating your ideas effectively and creatively
– Differentiating between ‘good’ and ‘effective’ writing to achieve specific objectives
– Developing your confidence in articulating your practice
– The different contexts for writing about art from statements to proposals, websites, reviews and social media
This session is designed to help you to develop your own writing in a friendly, supportive environment. All participants are asked to bring some texts they have written about their own practice for group discussion and constructive feedback.
Alistair Gentry is an artist and writer whose work for performance, broadcast and installation has been shown throughout the UK and Europe, in Japan, in China and in the USA. He writes fiction, critical texts, and the art world blog ‘Career Suicide’.
