Launching…. My Writing Service for Artists
It’s a commonly held idea that art needs no words. But, as contemporary artists, we know that isn’t quite true.
Historically speaking, from Marcel Duchamp and Rene Magritte’s surreal, verbal experiments, to Mark Titchner and Lawrence Weiner’s concrete poetry (above), the nuances of art and language are closely connected.
Then, of course, there are the practicalities. Publicity, funding, opportunity and public interpretation.
No artist I’ve met looks forward to writing artist statements, press releases or application forms. You want to focus on your work, stay in the studio (or get out of doors!), not get distracted and held up fretting over text.
Writing Service for Artists
That’s where I can help. In my Writing Service for Artists I work with artists, designers and curators to produce creative, descriptive, theoretical and explanatory text.
Wall texts
Interviews
Catalogue essays
Artists statements
Press releases
Critical responses
Application forms
Blogs
Web sites
I listen carefully to your vision and insight in order to produce words that work with your art, positioning your practice within contemporary, theoretical and historical contexts. As an artist and published art critic qualified in Fine Art and History of Art, I can translate art into words for exhibitions, proposals, web sites and publicity. I know how important the words are: too important to entrust to generalist copywriters who have not shared your experience.
