A research workshop, which preceded the conference, provided a forum for emerging artistic researchers to enter into speculation, critique, exchange, making and dialogue about their research topic or practice. PhD students and independent researchers were invited to respond to an open call to bring a semi-developed project to discuss, work on and resolve into an exhibitable self-consuming form within the conference.
Taking place at KARST, the largest independent contemporary art venue in Plymouth, the exhibition ran from Thursday April 12 to Friday April 13th.
Workshop participants: Raul Barcelona; Cândida Borges; Emilio Chapela; Livia Daza-Paris; Paola Debellis; Veronica Fazzio; Laura Hopes; Debbie Kent; Karolina Kucia; Chun-yu Liu; Steven Paige; James Schofield; Carmen Wong.
Workshop facilitators: Allister Gall, Anya Lewin, Andrew Prior.
