Writing as Practice: Peripheral Continuity 

 

 

 

Writing as Practice: Peripheral Continuity was held on December 17, 2011 at the International Center of Photography. The aim of the symposium was to bring together a group of writers, visual artists and curators who were investigating the role and use of the written word in their respective artistic practices.​

 

The conversations embarked on a contemporary dialogue about the decentering of linguistics within artistic practices, focusing specifically on the development of narrative writing as a convergence and/or partnership. The featured speakers included Carlos Motta, Andrea Geyer, Moyra Davey, Zoe Leonard, Anne Turyn, Ethan Swan and Lynne Tillman.
