Seminar VII: In the Event\u00a0<\/i><\/b>(Autumn 2016)<\/p>\n
Seminar VII can be understood as a ‘distributed’ seminar. It doesn’t take place at a regular slot, in a regular venue. Nor is it comprised of seminars in the proper sense. Instead, ‘the seminar’ takes places over the duration of the semester, engaging in different events, conversations and spaces. Key highlights include programming associated with British Art Show 8, which will be showing at both Southampton City Art Gallery and John Hansard Gallery, a richly programmed two-day conference on minimalism, and the official launch of WSA’s\u00a0Archaeologies of Media and Technology Research group.<\/p>\n

\nDetails TBA<\/p>\n
\nWorkshop 1: Drawing Desires<\/span>
\nVenue: John Hansard Gallery
\n<\/strong>When we draw from life what is it we seek to keep inside the line and what falls out? What does the act of drawing tell us about how we see the world? Using traditional drawing methods and computer-aided design, this workshop explores both the lines we desire and those that get drawn around us.\u00a0(Part of programming for\u00a0British Art Show 8<\/em>)<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Workshop 2: Drawing Together<\/span>
\nVenue: Southampton City Art Gallery<\/strong>
\nWorking with the shadows of artworks shown in\u00a0British Art Show 8<\/em>, this creative seminar will explore ideas of vision and visuality in the gallery. Participants will \u2018draw together\u2019, both as a shared act of drawing, and as an enquiry into how our bodies and the things around us are drawn together. (Part of the programming for\u00a0British Art Show 8<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\nNew Theatricality\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>(Art Historical Lead Lecture event)
\nVenue: John Hansard Gallery
\n<\/strong>British Art Show 8<\/em>\u00a0is defined by its curators in terms of \u2018new materialism\u2019, suggestive of different kinds of material realities beyond human perception. But what if this is just to prompt a new kind of engagement? This lecture looks back to debates of the 1960s to help frame the works on show as a new form of \u2018theatricality\u2019 or participation.<\/p>\n
\nPlasticity<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>(Art Historical Lead Lecture event)
\nVenue: Southampton City Art Gallery
\n<\/strong>With reference to early photographic techniques for 3D modelling, the growing use of plastics from the 1950s, and today\u2019s high expectations for 3D printing, this lecture explores the concept of \u2018plasticity\u2019 in relation to\u00a0British Art Show 8\u00a0<\/em>as well as new sculptural works refashioning plastic pop iconography.<\/p>\n
