The MFA Art Writing, Goldsmiths, hosts a new series of seminars in which contemporary issues in art writing are presented and debated. Each public session brings together art writing students and staff members and a visiting speaker, with each seminar themed around one of eleven Statements on Art Writing developed by the programme. Participants will be supplied with reading material and background information in advance of the session. Organised by former Writer in Residence Maria Fusco.

Seminar programme (all event times 11am until 4pm):

Art Writing is an anthology of examples.
15 Nov: led by Michael Newman and Adrian Rifkin with guest speaker Ed Atkins
6 Dec: led by Michael Newman and Adrian Rifkin with guest speaker Hayley Newman

Art Writing does not take modalities of writing as given, rather it tends to, and experiments with non-division between practice and theory, criticism and creativity.
24 Jan: led by Maria Fusco and Yve Lomax with a guest speaker

Art Writing is a possible form of the liberty of the image.
6 Mar: led by Yve Lomax and Adrian Rifkin with a guest speaker

There are a very limited number of places available for guests.  Applicants should submit their interest in attending an event by emailing a letter with 100-word biographical details and a 100-word statement of interest to nicolasim@whitechapelgallery.org at least a week before the session.
