Art & Archaeology: Contemporary Theory and Practice MA module

Collaborative studying with artist Elaine Fisher at UHI, Orkney, 2017.

As both makers and viewers, we envision the emergence of a new material culture of dislocated artefacts. Through our own imagined archaeology, we will consider questions about the potential meaning and significance of these artefacts, whilst intentionally disrupting conventional rules of time and place. We hope to occupy the space between object and subject, exploring how knowledge and fantasy impact upon our understanding of lost/absent societies.
