BERGEN: WRITING AROUND YOUR WORK
Date: April 27
Time: 10-15
Place: Hordaland kunstsenter
Only 12 spaces available, sign up by sending an e-mail to [email protected]

To some extent, every artist is also a writer. We have to contextualise our practices within multiple different scenarios and cater to different audiences writing press releases, biographies, funding applications, residency applications, for academic contexts, websites, personal writings, writing-as-artistic-practice and the list goes on. There are different registers for all these different situations, and navigating them can be confusing and time consuming.
In this one-day workshop, artist and writer Samuel Brzeski will explore different strategies for writing around and about your artistic practice. We will focus on developing a personal language that is close to the work itself, that unfolds new possibilities and that can be generative for your artistic practices, rather than a chore. Utilising creative writing exercises, and discussing the work of others, we will work towards drafting new artist statements that can be adapted to multiple different situations.

Samuel Brzeski is an artist, writer and publisher working with language as raw material—moulding, stretching and transforming texts on screens, on the page and within speech sound. At the heart of his work is a playful and performative use of voice: voice as carrier of rhythm, of vibration, of emotion; voice as the centre of the human self-experience of presence. Recently he was a participant at the Jan van Eyck Post-Academic Residency (Maastricht) and the Maumaus Independent Study Program (Lisbon). He has been writer-in-residence with Lydgalleriet and Contemporary Art Stavanger. Since 2021 he has run Vibrational Semantics Press, publishing performance scores, experimental typography and interdisciplinary writing projects centring on voice and language. Sometimes his works make more sound than sense.
This workshop is a co-production between VISP and Hordaland kunstsenter

Are Blytt er månedens kunstner i VISP

Are Blytt Hva jobber du med?Maleri med innslag av fotografi og tekst, samt litt installasjoner/skulpturer. Hva inspirerer deg?I hverdagen motiveres jeg av livet på atelieret. Det asketiske livet der som kunstner er ganske magisk for meg og jeg trives godt i ensomheten med å jobbe på med verk mot utstilling...
