Artist Talk: Power at Tate Exchange

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. 

It is with great regret that owing to the developing situation regarding Coronavirus and acknowledging the potential health risks to all involved, Shape and Disability Arts Online have had to postpone this event until further notice.

We are looking into alternative dates and formats and apologise to anyone who had plans to attend, as well as all who have worked hard to ensure this event was going to be brilliant.

We will continue to share the content we had planned in the lead up to Mar 21, including interviews and takeovers. And we will endeavour to bring this event to life after these challenging times have passed.

off our fourth year at Tate Exchange, artists from the Emergence Bursary Programme (Letty McHugh, Fae Kilburn and Lauren Saunders) will be speaking about the work they have made over the past 12 months and reflecting on how the award has changed their practice. This event is delivered in collaboration with Disability Arts Online.

Letty McHugh is an artist and writer, with an MA in Creative Practice from Leeds College of Art. Influenced by Situationist theory and Object theory, Letty’s work is underpinned by the idea that the primary value of all objects is their ability to evidence human existence and communicate intangible emotions, memories and experiences.

Fae Kilburn is a Birmingham based Printmaker, who has exhibited nationally and internationally. Her recent work consists of a series of mono print portraits exploring family, disability and identity. Whilst creating this work a softer colour pallet and new style emerged. In 2018 Fae was KIRA artist in residence CA, the quiet environment suited her and reinforced her creativity, influencing the style and size of her work.

Lauren Saunders is an award-winning and socially-engaged interdisciplinary visual artist living & working in Hull, UK. Her work responds to philosophical questions by systematically dissecting, capturing, interrogating and translating thoughts and experiences through collage and by drawing in the expanded field. The intellectual, sensual and material sits in relation to the concepts, subjects, media, contexts and surfaces explored within her participatory practice.
