‘Unwriting the Artist’s Statement’ is a focused, playful online workshop centred on conversation, making, and discovering your own voice.
The session invites you to abscond from International Art English and respond directly to your work. Moving away from the critical language often used to address contemporary art, the workshop proposes different protocols for speaking about your practice to the world.
Through a series of guided prompts, improvisation, and gentle exercises, participants will work with revision, association, and a deliberate quality of randomness to develop ways of using their own voice. The focus is on speaking through the work rather than separating language from practice.
The workshop is hosted by IMT Gallery and led by artist and educator Elle Reynolds, whose practice works through collaborative processes, storytelling, and material experimentation.
For makers, artists, writers, anti-writers, poets, curators at any stage of their practice, and anyone interested in finding alternative ways to speak about their work. It is especially useful if you are preparing portfolios, applications, or exhibitions, or if you simply want your language to feel more natural and connected to what you do.
Places are limited — the workshop takes place on Sunday 16 August, 3-5pm (BST).
