All artists like to talk about what they do. But for this session, we want to take an honest look at why we do what we do. Let’s talk about the stuff that normally isn’t talked about, and let’s think about what it really means to be an artist. Let’s explore the things that have shaped and influenced us — the what, and the who. The random, chance encounters to the major lifelong obsessions. Let’s also talk about the relationships and collaborations that have come to inform and define our practice. From Adam Ant to Samuel Beckett, from the Assistant Membership Officer at the ICA to Nick Cave… these are the things and the people who have made us who we are.
The INSIDE/OUT public programme of lectures invites speakers and leading thinkers whose breadth of work, practice, thought and collaboration we feel will inspire all our students and staff across the wide range of disciplines in the Leeds School of Arts.
Lectures will be available as digital films through the LARC website and open to all.
