The workshop proposal is aimed at helping them develop creative writing tools to explore different areas of their work and thus build their conceptual artist statement.
The workshop consists of three online meetings where different narrative exercises will be carried out in class and participants will also have complementary activities to do at home.
In addition to the writing exercises, we will also discuss a possible history of the statement : Where does it come from? How was this text formulated in the history of art? What does the statement mean today?
After the three meetings, each participant will have the opportunity to receive personalized feedback on their final statement that they have written during the workshop.
Modules :
1 - Definitions and history
2 - The universe of the work
3 - Creative exploration
4 - The text of the work
5 - Influences on the work
6 - Write the statement
