Reading workshops with George Paton Gallery

Conceptual Infrastructure: A Workshop Series

MAL is pleased to be presenting 3 workshops with George Paton Gallery in October. 

Join us for unpacking and exploring the intangible frameworks needed to support contemporary creative production. Through structured discussions and joint close-reading, we'll consider how we might create and foster these supports.

Session 1 will look at creative spaces and precincts, and question the interplay between tangible and intangible ingredients that make these spaces work, or not.

Session 2 will explore the act of writing art histories — through exhibitions, criticism and collections — and how this helps frame and legitimise arts practice.

Session 3 will take a broader view, untangling ideas of ‘institutional art theory’, the bounds between contemporary art and life, and how we might apply this knowledge to our own practices.

The workshops will run on Thursday Oct 3, Oct 17, and Oct 24, from 2-4pm at the Rowden White Library, Level 2, Student Pavilion, Building 162 Monash Road, Parkville.
