2 exhibitions with the same name, “Back from the Peninsula” (Artist residency last June):

Creative Salon, 29 January, 4-6 pm, Mahtay (“Experimental Forms of Writing and/in Translation):

For the Research Centre in Interdisciplinary Arts and Creative Culture’s January 2025 Creative Salon, we invite participants for an open discussion on “Experimental Forms of Writing and/in Translation.” We wish to explore non-traditional forms of writing, inscribing, tracing, and material communication. The conversation will be informal and grounded in practice and process.

Open-ended and vulnerable, creative experimental practice is nevertheless determined by material conditions. How do we understand the notion of experimental in the context of our work? What role does it play? To what extent are the material conditions we work in and with generative? When do they become constraints? How does our work negotiate the forms and fields we find ourselves in? The ways in which we think and move through material forms of communication can be understood as translations, as shifts between different systems of meaning-making, as transitions from one form to another (or several). Artists and authors are invited to share and discuss their work in the context of these questions and in relation to experimentation and translation.
