COPY unfold

Launch Event Saturday 3rd December 2011
6.30 - 7.30pm
S1 Artspace

Alain Ayers / David Berridge / Julia Calver / Paul Carr / Rachel Lois Clapham / Emma Cocker / Laura Davidson / Joanna Loveday / Flatten the Mountain / Daniel Fogarty / Sarah Frydenlund / Derek Horton / Tamarin Norwood / Flora Robertson / Terry Slater / Richard Taylor / JDA Winslow / Paul Wright

Special presentations from Emma Cocker, Daniel Fogarty, Joanna Loveday, JDA Winslow & Paul Wright.

We are pleased to invite you to an informal launch event for the second edition of COPY, a publication which explores writing within visual art and performance practice.

COPY unfold proposes a tension between the resolved and unresolved, drafted and rewritten, finished and unfinished through works which explore, respond to or enact a state of being ‘in process’.

Following a short introduction to the publication contributors Emma Cocker, Joanna Loveday, Daniel Fogarty, J.D.A Winslow and Paul Wright will present their work through readings, video and print, followed by an informal discussion involving CWC, further contributors and design collective Dust, with the chance to ask any questions.

The launch provides a great opportunity for late viewing of the S1 Members Show 2011 for anyone who hasn’t seen the exhibition and a chance look around the S1 Open Studios (3-7pm). The S1 Christmas event Metallic Merryfest starts at 9pm and we welcome you to join us for the event, we will invite any guests to join us for drinks and food in the interim period. Find the events on Facebook here.

For details on the venue please visit the S1 Artspace website and find it on Google Maps.

COPY//unfold Call for Submissions

Critical Writing Collective welcome submissions of experimental/art writing for our forthcoming edition of COPY, produced with design collective Dust.

COPY // unfold suggests a tension between the resolved and unresolved, drafted and rewritten, finished and unfinished through works which explore, respond to or enact in their own form a state of being ‘in process’.

Submissions may heavily employ text, image or design, contextualised as writing within the field of visual art and performance. Text may be 1-1000 words.
Due to the size of the publication, we may not be able to use all relevant submissions but will consider them for future issues.

Email criticalwritingcollective@gmail.com for more information or with abstracts or loose proposals.
Final deadline for submissions is Tuesday 16 August 2011.
