Led by multidisciplinary artist Mark Fell, with philosopher Robin Mackay, this workshop series aims to critically examine beliefs about creative practice — for example, relationships between creativity and technology, approaches to collaboration, concerns with authorship and agency; as well as ideas about inspiration, expression and communication of meaning as the fundamental principles of creative production.
The workshop series, on 9, 13, and 16 November 2021, takes up major themes from Structure and Synthesis: The Anatomy of Practice — with a particular focus on the relationship between ‘theory’ and ‘practice’. From the unspoken theoretical underpinnings of ‘practice’ to the logistics, economic and material constraints on ‘doing theory’, and at a time when technology intervenes in our thinking as well as our actions, is the distinction between the theory and practice now obsolete? How do our physical and technical environments become a part of our thought processes? What models can we turn to in order to redraw or reject the tension between the cognitive and the productive?
