In this talk, the Lungs team, Angela Burdon and Sheyda Aisha Khaymaz, will introduce the beginnings of their project and explore its influences and predecessors, including other magazines that have shaped the project's direction and approach. They will discuss the impetus behind the project and the challenges they faced in starting a magazine in a small town in the North East England.
The team will discuss the notion of published work as a curatorial output and how it may serve as a means of disseminating knowledge and creating new opportunities for emerging creatives outside of centralised spaces. Angela and Sheyda will examine the obstacles and opportunities presented by publishing undertaken as curatorial practice, and how Lungs Project has navigated these challenges. The talk will also explore the ways in which Lungs has engaged with different spaces and audiences, both online and offline, and the impact of these spaces on promoting critical thought and experimentation. The team will also talk about the Lungs Project's outreach efforts and how they have created, and continue to create, new opportunities for dialogue and exchange, as well as the wider influence of the project on the artists’s lives.
Arts and Place
Led by London based artist, researcher, and writer, Dr Jo Joelson, MA Arts and Place is a transdisciplinary residency-based programme focusing on the complexities of ‘the field’ as a place of practice, exploring its imaginative as well as material processes. This course is a new framework and network for field-based research and poststudio practice and draws upon pivotal historic and contemporary artistic debates which examine and re-examine our relationships to place, both urban and rural and to nature and landscape.
