Dialogue

Dwell Time joined a YVAN microgrant bursary recipient networking meeting today at The Arthouse in Wakefield. We used zoom video conferencing to link up with the artists who couldn’t attend in person as a trial run. Although there were faults with the connection and audio to be resolved for next time, this type of multichannel video conferencing is a pretty effective way of maintaining a dialogue over geographic distance. It’s not as good as face to face interaction but seems to be a good option for dialogue in a small group.

Monday night was the October edition of Art Lab at Dean Clough. Paul Ashton and Paula Horton presented their work alongside a short screening of the Ballet Russes.

Aside from the superficial connection of ballet, the personal narratives and performative expressions became the interweaving ideas of the evening. Both presenting artists were really keen on feedback about their work and this generated some very positive dialogue about the strengths and directions they were each going in. Great crits with open dialogue about some very personal subject matter.

Returning to ideas with semi-legible text/writing.
