Artistic Practice


Welcome to the spring 2011 issue of the webzine.Axis and Creative Times have teamed up to present this exciting new video series. Over five months in 2010 and 2011 we’ll be visiting five very different art institutions, each linked by the notion of newness and change.

Our fourth interviewee is Lisa Le Feuvre, Head of Sculpture Studies at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, who, after less than six months in her post, is already challenging the Institute to find new possibilities by flirting with failure.

In this issue we are going to be picking up on a number of topics that shape and affect the artistic process.

Artist Anne Teahan she was part of group show at the Smithsonian in Washington in 2010. Her project 'Sharing Cultures' analyses her expereinces of this and asks what has disability got to do with art?

Lawrence Bradby, one half of Townley and Bradby, reflects on being both a parent and an artist, and how these two roles merged during a residency in Lincolnshire on which they took their two children.

In February we co-hosted an exciting event looking at what social media can do for contemporary art, following the blog post 'Tweet Your Art Out' written for the Northern Art Prize (reproduced below).

We also look into the impact artists can have on the wider cultural and political landscape in Britain and internationally.
