A Performative Talk, 2022
Approaching an artist talk as a performance, I wrote what I anticipated might be the contents of a forthcoming talk as a script for three voices; those making up the writing group in which ideas have been developed and discussed since it was set up at the start of the 2020 lockdown. Making reference to the surrounding exhibition, Mound / Un-Mound, the performance holds the uncertain alliance between image and text, process and completion, documentation and narrative and destabilises the singularity of the artist and the artist's voice.
Performed at Imaginary Wines,Todmorden for Mound / Un-Mound by Anna Taylor, Kelly Loughlin and Rachel Newsome
