Emily Pitts, Caroline Coates and myself met up yesterday in the Cornerhouse cafe to finalise the running order for our talk next Monday. Beginning to get excited/nervous now.
Emily is hosting proceedings and will start with a history of the use of text in art. I will give some examples of my own use of text in my art work, particularly the RiverText piece for the Big Art Trail, and look at some of the feminist artists who have influenced me. Caroline will be giving examples of contemporary artists using text and focusing on those who are also dyslexic – interesting!
We aim to be as brief as possible and open up for comments and discussion with the audience. Tea and coffee will be provided and then off to the nearby Nip and Tipple afterwards to continue the conversation. So if you are in the area why not come along?
