I am pleased to announce that I am the 2019 #interrupteur artist-writer in residence for the University of Sheffield’s School of Arts and Humanities. During March and early April 2019, I will be spending a number of days installed in the foyer of Jessops West, making a collaborative and participatory space for experimental writing, speaking, and reading, for expanded translations, for text-based performances, and for other interventionist surprises
The aims of the residency are to forge future links between artist writers and academics, exploring the possibilities of continuing creative/academic partnerships to impact of the life of the University and on the city of Sheffield’s creative community. During the residency I will be inviting a series of creative guests— artists, writers, and performers—whose interests, research and practice intersect with the aims of the residency.
The residency is out-facing, and both myself and my guests will welcome presence, participation, and conversation from and with students, staff—academic and non-academic, and visitors to the university. Come and interrupt us!
Full details and further information will be announced shortly.
