Pause...Break...Talk

5.30pm—7pm

Holly Corfield Carr (Poet and Writer)
Steven Gartside (Curator, The Holden Gallery)
Sophie Williamson (Curator, Camden Arts Centre)

Taking examples from art, literature and everyday life, the three speakers explore the pauses, gaps and breaks that occur in the process of communication. The creative glitches that appear as we look at images, objects, ideas and things.

Free admission.

Typos, topos: From the cinema to the cave, Holly Corfield Carr will be navigating typos in the work of writers writing in the dark.

Steven Gartside will use Break in Transmission as a starting point to talk about the nature of the fragment and notions of the incomplete work of art.

Sophie J Williamson will discuss her current research around disjuncture, translatese and the untranslatable in visual language and poetics.
