Guest House: Unwriting the Artist’s Statement Online Workshop with El
Join us for a focused, playful session of conversation, making, and discovering your own voice. This workshop creates space to build confidence, loosen habits around language, and allow your voice to develop naturally, staying close to your practice rather than separate from it.
Unwriting the Artist’s Statement invites you to abscond from International Art English and respond directly to your work. Moving away from the critical language often used to address contemporary art, this workshop proposes different protocols for speaking about your practice to the world.
Through a series of guided prompts, improvisation, and gentle exercises, participants will work with revision, association, and a deliberate quality of randomness, to develop ways of using their own voice. The focus is on speaking through the work rather than separating language from practice.
This is a supportive space for play, experimentation, and discovery. No previous experience or prepared text is needed.
The workshop is hosted by IMT Gallery and led by artist Elle Reynolds, whose practice works through collaborative processes, storytelling, and material experimentation. Her work explores making as a way of thinking together, with a particular interest in shared authorship, provisional forms, and the social life of materials.
Over the two hours, you will:
- Develop new ways of talking about your work that feel personal and less rehearsed
- Loosen habits around formal or institutional language
- Build confidence in speaking and writing about your practice
- Generate material you can continue to develop after the session
- Connect with others navigating similar questions around language and practice.
Places are limited to keep the session conversational and supportive—book early to secure your place.
