WORKING THE GAP
Writing Workshops and Reading
12pm
Wednesday 13 & 20 August
Adam
Art Gallery, Wellington
*There
are only a few spaces left, so to secure a place in the workshops, please
register now.
As
a follow on from the Adam Art Gallery’s Working the Gap symposium, poet
and PhD candidate Therese Lloyd sets Kim Pieters’ exhibition what is a life?
as the context for two one-hour writing workshops. Using the earliest form of
art writing, ‘ekphrasis’, as her model, she invites participants to explore the
exhibition as a basis for their own work. Working individually and in a group,
new and established writers are offered the opportunity to develop a deeper
understanding of the possibilities and challenges of using words to respond to
visual art.
Reading
5pm
Friday 22 August
Adam
Art Gallery
Participants
in the Writing Workshops present their writing in a public session
chaired and introduced by writer and academic Harry Ricketts. Reading your work
is voluntary, but attendance is an important final part of the Working the
Gap programme. Everyone is invited to join us for drinks in the Hunter
Lounge after the reading.
