On Not Knowing: Writing in Dialogue with, Parallel to and as Practice.
With
reference to ideas emerging from her text ‘Preparing for the Unexpected:
Tactics of Not Knowing’ published in On Not Knowing: How Artists Think (2013),
in this lecture writer-artist Emma Cocker will explore various approaches to writing in dialogue with, parallel to and as
practice. Drawing on practice-based and theoretical research, Cocker will
introduce and elaborate different ways of using language in relation to and as
practice, advocating the idea of writing as a creative and material practice, alongside
the critical potential of poetic and performative modes of exposition. Specific
examples of practice will be situated in relation to various models of contemporary
writing/practice – including performance writing, art-writing and the development of the
artistic research model of expositional writing.
