Event Details:

Francis Upritchard frequently invites authors to write in relation to her work - putting fiction in the place of art criticism. For A Hand of Cards, she has invited Ali Smith to create a piece of writing which will depart from both her work and that of Alfred Kubin. Smith is the author of several plays, short story collections, and celebrated novels - including The Accidental (2005) and There But for The (2011). To open this event she will read text written for Upritchard's Nottingham Contemporary exhibition. It will appear in the exhibition catalogue, designed by Upritchard's frequent collaborators Åbäke.

Debate: Regenerate Art - Led by Benedict Seymour

Posted: 04 Jul 2012 10:02 PM PDT

When:
Tuesday, October 9, 2012 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (GMT)

Where:
Nottingham Contemporary
Weekday Cross
NG1 2GB Nottingham
United Kingdom

Hosted By:
Nottingham Contemporary

Register for this event now at :
http://ncbenedictseymour-atom.eventbrite.com

Event Details:

A writer, musician, filmmaker, and contributing editor of Mute Magazine, Benedict Seymour was amongst the first to review Francis Upritchard's work in the context of the Bart Wells Institute - an artist run space in a Hackey squat, founded by Upritchard and Luke Gottelier in 2001. At the time, Hackney was an area that he considered to be a 'wild west' pioneer zone of art/gentrification - and he read Upritchard's handmade mummy figures as icons of "post-industrial undeath and (ambiguous) resurrection".  His discussion of regeneration and gentrification will draw on films made with The London Particular. The intention of the event is to provoke a discussion of relevance to our immediate urban environment - addressing creative regeneration, gentrification, land use and urban occupation in Nottingham and the East Midlands.
