Deirdre MacLeod, Lecturer in Art and Design - Centre for Open Learning, University of Edinburgh and Christopher Kaczmarek, Associate Professor, Interdisciplinary Art, Montclair State University, New Jersey, U.S.
Wednesday 21 February 2024
Artists Deirdre Macleod and Christopher Kaczmarek met for the first time during COVID lockdown. They began to collaborate remotely on artistic projects in which they jointly explored the urban spaces in which they live and work.
Over the past six months, they have used walking, film and creative writing to explore their localities, slowly, at small scale and in fine grain.
Their lecture will discuss how they use interdisciplinary artistic methods to create hybrid, imaginary places which combine projection with partial and selective images of the spaces through which each artist walked.
The lecture will begin with a presentation of their short (8 minute) film, everyone welcome.
