Upcoming Webinar
Using Text as a Visual Medium with Sebastian Moody
EVENT DETAILS
12pm – 1pm Thursday the 22nd of August 2024
In this webinar artist Sebastian Moody will use their own practice as a case study to discuss how text and language are used in contemporary visual art.
The participant will:Â
- Learn the historical origins and evolution of text in the visual arts from concrete poetry and conceptual art to more contemporary applications.
- Understand the important role context plays in shaping the reception and interpretation of text-based artworks.
- Focus on public text art and its potential for creating social, political, humourous, and poetic works in this context.
