LCC/SPIN ‘Artist Lab’ – January 16th, London

SPIN and the London College of Communication have partnered to organise a multi-disciplinary one-day symposium in London on January 16th to discuss research and practices of visualising secrecy and power from academic and artistic perspectives. For SPIN, this is our first foray into London!

This latest event follows our long-standing interest and commitment to understanding how secrecy is imagined and practiced in multi-sensorial ways. See our SPIN-MPF photograph commissions: (Ashutosh Shaktan, Emily Graham, Olu Osinoiki), support for artists such as Lewis Bush and Oskar McCarthy through artist labs and seedcorn funding, our partnership with We the Curious, and artist talks such as the most recent one by Vera Zurbrügg.

The event will draw together visual artist, academics and practitioners to explore and discuss the latest research and practices of visualising secrecy and power. The day will involve an interplay of art practice and academic research, raising questions of how different disciplinary approaches and methods transverse, intersect and extend our capacity to create, represent, imagine and share unique insights into systems of power and resistance, especially in connection with covering, containing, obscuring, making and other visual ways that secrecy is made and contested.
