A Curriculum For The Non-Unifed Self

6 Apr 2019

Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art
London SE14 6AD

Overview

This parallel event to How Chicago! draws on two aspects of Imagist practice. Firstly, a consideration of their approach to the human figure in which the body was fragmented and distorted. The second is their coalescing around the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where teachers such as Ray Yoshida, Kathleen Blackshear and Whitney Halstead inspired and provoked their students to develop a style that was informed by alternative art histories and vernacular material cultures. Goldsmiths CCA invites practitioners from different disciplines to reflect on the process of the transmission of knowledge and to propose their own curricula as a series of workshops. Aspects of each will be published on our website after the events as a distributable curriculum for the non-unified self. Participants: Zinzi Minott (Dancer/Artist), Stevphen Shukaitis (Cultural Theorist & Publisher), Fiona James (Artist).
