- Summary:
- "Saturday 27 May 2017 An afternoon of presentations considering alternative structures of collective living and models of domestic life. Fran Cottell and her daughter Maisie Richards Cottell will discuss House Projects (2001-present); a series of architectural installations built in the artists' home, a former cemetery lodge in Greenwich. A screening ofIt Takes a Million Years to be a Woman (2010-14), a film documenting Sisters of Jam's ongoing interdisciplinary art project about Millett Farm; an art colony founded in 1978 by feminist author Kate Millett in Poughkeepsie, USA. Nina Wakeford presents an apprenticeship in queer I believe it was, a performance with 16mm film exploring the capacity of Greenham Common to transform the identities of those who lived there. Nina Wakeford is an artist and sociologist, and is Reader in Sociology at Goldsmiths. As an artist she makes work that begins with the unfinished business of past social movements, and the challenges of revisiting the energies that these movements created. Recently, drawing on a personal collection of feminist materials from the 1970s and 1980s, Nina has made a series of film and performance works that involve singing as a way of attaching herself to objects or images. She is the co-editor of Inventive Methods: The Happening of the Social (Routledge, 2012) which explores, amongst other things, how research might better work with openness and ambiguity. Her performances have been shown at BFI, ICA and the Wellcome Collection."-- provided by distributor.
