Rachel Smith Residency: Interrupteur: 'we must begin wherever we are'

Wednesday 11 April 2018

Today I will be setting up for my artist residency at the University of Sheffield in the foyer at Jessop West.

Please interrupt me.

‘We must begin wherever we are’

Rachel Smith

‘An ERRANT, or Improper Form’

with Emma Bolland

‘The copyist remained anonymous; now she claims authorship […] as an act of creation’

with Madeleine Walton

‘there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and between them, there are doors’

with Clee Claire Lee

‘We live in a world where there is more and more information and less and less meaning’

with Bryan Eccleshall

‘I fight for improvisation, but always with the belief that it is impossible’

with Jo Ray

‘There is freedom in Constraint’

with Helen Frank

‘Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.’

with Andrew Conroy

‘Insolent in that it interrupts the text, and smitten in that it keeps returning to it’

with the Roland Barthes reading group

‘an experimentation in contact with the real. The map […] constructs the unconscious’

with Louise Finney
