Last session Telematic Studios paired the artists, asking them to each take their partner’s project and reimagine it as their own. The idea was to give each artist the experience of first seeing their beloved idea reshaped in the image of another artist’s approach to the world and second of taking the other artist’s idea as a foreign object introduced into their own practice. Afterwards we talk with Beth Dillon and Keira Simmons about how this experience played out
I write poems and attend creative writing workshops where exercises reap such a wide diversity of responses. I think it would be very interesting to work collaboratively in the way these artists have. Imagine swapping poems or any writing and then working together to see what developes.
