<DIV><STRONG>Official launch of the Artists’ Writings & Publications Research Centre. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The Artists' Writings & Publications Research Centre (AWP) consolidates two decades of excellent practice-led research into artists' publishing and many more decades of influential scholarship on the subject of artists' writings developed across the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The AWP does so with the aim of supporting impactful and ambitious new research across disciplinary boundaries, in both conventional and experimental forms, which can connect these growing fields of artistic and critical interest with broader socio-cultural discussions about new writing and the ever-changing cultures of reading. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Join the AWP’s co-founders, Simon Lewandowski, Dr Chris Taylor and Nick Thurston for the official launch symposium, ‘Document Practices’ (13:45-16:30), exploring the connections between documentary methods from across the arts with radical cultures of document sharing from around the world. Leading the discussions will be three special guests: <A HREF="https://www.westminster.ac.uk/about-us/our-people/directory/beck-john" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Prof John Beck</A> (Director for the Institute of Modern and Contemporary Culture, Westminster), <A HREF="http://www.garyhall.info/publications/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Prof Gary Hall</A> (Director of the Centre for Disruptive Media, Coventry, and co-founder of Open Humanities Press) and <A HREF="https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/Nicholas.J.Thoburn.html" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Nicholas Thoburn</A> (Sociology, Manchester, and author of <I>Anti-Book</I> (Minnesota, 2016)). </DIV>
