The aim of this workshop is to explore the role of writing in art practice. The workshop is open to all interested participants, regardless of experience. We will be engaging with ideas around art writing, ekphrasis, alternative forms of criticism, collage and language as a found object.

Key readings will be circulated in advance to inform our discussion of the relationship between writing and visual art-making. The workshop will include a number of writing exercises and participants are invited to share their finished work on our website.

The Paper is an artist-led publisher of art writing and art criticism. For more information on The Paper visit www.thepapercork.com or follow our Instagram: @thepapercork
