Abstract

Writing practices are no less complex or more ‘knowing’ than making practices, and yet they continue to be mythologised in the Art School as cerebral, formulaic and Other to making. Writing has been cultured into artist and artist-teacher training as a tool for assessment. This session opened dialogue between the ‘not knowing’ of creative practice and practices of writing. Through a series of presented and performed provocations, and a generative writing workshop in which written texts are starting points for experimentation, we explore how artists’ pedagogies can shape the way that writing in the Art School is taught and practised.
