This issue of the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice, published by Intellect, focuses on the field and form of art writing.
Art Writing, Paraliterature and Intrepid Forms of Practice is edited by Susannah Thompson and Laura Edbrook and features creative-critical contributions from Katrina Palmer, Laurence Figgis, Gillian Wylde, Joanne Tatham, Lindsay Seers, Elizabeth Reeder, Amanda Thomson, Laura Edbrook and Susannah Thompson.
This special issue represents a multiplicity of attitudes and breadth of approaches by practitioners all working within or in close proximity to visual art. As a collection, they exemplify the mutability of ‘writing in creative practice’ as it exists in relation to art and the art world. The speculative, performative and material forms of writing here evidence the deployment of wilfully undisciplined and de-instrumentalised practices of contemporary criticism and alternative academic ecologies.
Published in January 2018, the launch will present readings, performances and presentations from contributors.
