'The Art of Print' is the first in a series of discussions by
artists, writers and curators working with contemporary photography, devised by
the University of Wolverhampton as part of wlvfotofest.
Individual artistic goals and experimentation used to be the
basic goals of residency programmes within student and artists practice. Now
with the emerging concern for mapping the creative process and responding to
the idea of a convincing methodology for supporting knowledge development in
this key discipline, we are able to engage in a conversation which is now
global in nature offering us a platform for sharing theoretical and practical
knowledge around the idea of residencies and artist led projects.
This series will be designed to respond and engage with the
European ‘Re –Tooling Residencies - a closer look at the mobility of art
professionals’, publication and website 2009-2011.
‘The Art of the Print’ comes from the development of new
understandings of artistic practice and presentation of visual forms with
exhibition value, including the projected image and the notion of the image as
spectacle included now in scenography practice and performance. This timely
publication and website offers a chance to share the research to date and
respond to the call to develop a methodology for the effective analysis of the
creative and social processes related to such mobility in a global perspective.
Contemporary photography practice now considers this notion of re-location and
the consequences that may be revealed while mapping national, transnational
and/or global flows of labour, conflict and co –operation.
The ideas of documentary and interactive documentary
practice are ongoing within photography education and its discourse with online
projects becoming the norm for cultural sites of exchange. The implications for
teaching and learning are the challenges for the teaching of practice that as
stated has much wider cultural connotations and we need to interrogate these
boundaries and reflect on the ways that relocation, exchange , translation and
learning through artistic practice can be evaluated in the context of the
mobility of emerging art professionals.
This is part of the Higher Education Academy Discipline Workshop and Seminar Series.
