In an extension of our monthly online feature, Artists talking Editor Andrew Bryant invites art world figures to spotlight a current Projects unedited blog. This month, Rebecca Heald chooses Clare Maynard’s ‘Random places’.
February saw the inaugural OpenAIR: Effecting Change members forum take place at Firstsite, Colchester as well as State of the Arts, Arts Council England’s (ACE) annual conference, which had Artists’ Shaping the World’ as its theme. Emily Speed, Jack Hutchinson and Gillian Nicol give their views of these events.
Access to professional development is vital to artists’ careers, so here’s something we think will help.
Townley and Bradby have an ongoing collaborative practice. They also have two children. Here they discuss how they used an investigative project to allow their art practice and their parental commitments to inform one another, rather than remaining distinct entities. However, this feature does not look at the existing collaboration between the duo, it looks at the working relationship they initiated with a psychologist who specialises in families.
