Women's Art Practice and Thinking: A Staged Event

Hosted in collaboration with Kingston University’s Contemporary Art Research Centre, Dorich House Museum welcomes you to Women's Art Practice and Thinking: A Staged Event.

Women’s Art Practice and Thinking: A Staged Event re-imagines the structure of symposium as a live event – a theatrical presentation that situates speakers and audience in new relationships to one another within a fluid changing 'set' where gesture can be enacted.

Ideas of fracturing, instinct, multiplicity, fluidity and subjectivity in relation to a feminine approach to research are explored through presentations by artists, curators and writers. A Staged Event stresses the presence and particular approaches of women within their research investigations - in the spirit of Dora Gordine and in the house she created.

Speakers Include: Cullinan Richards, Anni Ratti, Laura Gannon, Melissa Gordon, Anat Ben David, El Vonne Brown, Mothers Of God (Katrin Plavcak and Ulrika Segerberg), Rachel Cattle, Peter Lewis and Andi Magenheimer
