Talking Process
Span2, London
A discussion event between Span2 artists and the public. Artists involved in Span2 are each developing live, necessarily temporary, artworks over a period of one week in the architecturally and historically remarkable space of Dilston Grove (formerly Clare College Mission Church) right in the heart of Bermondsey.
A discussion event between Span2 artists and the public.
Where do artists' ideas come from? How are these
ideas made manifest? What processes, normally
unseen by the public, lie behind the work? How
might place and audience influence this process?
How much do artists themselves consider the role
of process in their work? Artists involved in Span2
are each developing live, necessarily temporary,
artworks over a period of one week in the
architecturally and historically remarkable space of
Dilston Grove (formerly Clare College Mission
Church) right in the heart of Bermondsey.
The Talking Process event gives artists-in
residence the opportunity to make presentations
and show documentation reflecting on the role of
process in their work overall and more specifically
on the evolution of their work in the church. The
curators of Span2 will chair these discussions with
an emphasis upon dialogue between the artists
and the public. There is also an opportunity to
contribute to the discussion via our online forums.
At the third weekly symposium, Span2 will proudly
and exclusively host the UK launch of 'Art Action
1958-98': a sure to be seminal publication from
Inter/Le Lieu of Quebec. We will take this
opportunity to discuss how historicization
particularly affects the importance of process in
performance art over its objects, documents and
relics.
