A conversation that examines the role of space in artistic practice with Graham Ellard, Pallas Citroen, Harold Offeh, and Anna Colin.
'On Space' brings together a panel of four visual arts experts to address the subject of artist studio spaces and the role space plays in artistic practice.
Responding to recent shifts in the political, social, and cultural fields regarding the organisation and availability of space – not least, Brexit – panellists Graham Ellard, Pallas Citroen, and Harold Offeh discuss their own experiences of artist spaces as the terrain of studio provision is radically transformed.
This talk took place on 30 June 2016 as part of Freelands Foundation’s 'Salon' series, a public programme based on the 18th-century model of the salon as an informal forum for discussion and the generation of ideas.
The Salon events were established by the Foundation towards the end of 2015 as a series of periodic evening discussions for visual arts and education audiences, from A-level students and academic professors and lecturers, to gallery and museum staff and art technicians.
Contributors: Graham Ellard (Professor at Central St Martins College of Art), Pallas Citroen (artist), Harold Offeh (artist) and Anna Colin (Co-founder of Open School East).
'On Space' is part of Freelands Foundation's ongoing research into the studio as a site for artist development and learning.
