The Edge 2 mentoring and exhibition programme has been a great opportunity and fascinating process for the mentor/curator and artists involved. To hear more about their experiences using new technologies to innovate and push boundaries in their creative practice, please come to one of the sessions on Wednesday 6th February 2019. There will be one session in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each will be led by Remy Dean, the Edge 2 Curator, and involve up to four of the artists whose work is on display.
Remy Dean will present an overview of the Ymly 2/Edge 2 creative programme, talking us through his approach to mentoring the eight selected artists and curating the work produced for this exhibition. He will discuss selected key works with the artists who created them, giving insight into their varied approaches and the different materials and processes that have been used.
Points of discussion will include collaboration and overlaps between artist and technician, retaining, maintaining or relinquishing the hand of the artist, and how it is possible to remain true to an original creative vision when using potentially clinical, digitally-driven technologies.
Tickets are priced £2.25 (Helfa Gelf members) and £4.50 (non-members)
