Why write? Is writing making?

What is telling? What is showing?

What are clichés in writing, and how do I subvert them?

Are artists' writings taken seriously?

How do I know when to stop writing?

How do I start writing?


Making the Written Word will investigate and encourage the use of writing as a relevant outlet of expression at all stages of artists’ and designers’ studio practice. Each of the four sessions will aim to answer specific questions through readings, writing exercises, and discussion. This blog is a forum for the discussion generated and a place to leave references for each other.

Fia Blackstrom interview/piece?

Flash Art n.264 January – February 09

LINES IN THE SAND

Fia sent Anthony a recycled text, he then filled in the questions. The text went back and forth and each fiddled with the other’s questions and answers.


This made me think of the possibilities of the first exercise we gave you, of cutting up someone else's words to make them your own. What I find interesting here is that it potentially becomes an art work. It is worth thinking about it as an intervention, as well as a fascinating text piece, in the context of a magazine about art, both in print, and online.
