Residency: Mary Paterson at Spike Island in Bristol from 3 January to 31 March
Residency: Mary Paterson will be at Spike Island in Bristol from Tuesday 3 January to Friday 31 March 2017.
Working between critical writing, poetry and live art, Mary Paterson is art writer in residence for early 2017. Paterson will conduct independent research, interview artists and hold workshops with local writers that take the form of regular walks. She envisages her research developing into a performance/exhibition exploring the ontology of language in an era of post-truth politics.
Mary Paterson’s residency is hosted by Spike Island in partnership with Arnolfini and the Art Writers Programme.
