Word and Image in the Studio Practice
Affiliated Society or Committee Name: International Association of Word and Image StudiesArtistic practice is of course fundamentally exploratory; but what role does the verbal play in this exploration? From artist statements to talks, and from grant applications to teaching, how do artists conceive of a verbal expression meant to convey a visual body of work? What verbal expressions, both from the artist and from readings in literature, criticism, philosophy, etc., enter into the creative process and with what goals in mind? And finally, how does the awareness of the difference between verbal and visual discourses help in this exploratory endeavor?
