Writing in the Expanded Field Volume III: Overlapping Writing is live!

Writing in the Expanded Field text

On May 20 Professor Francesca Rendle-Short launched the third volume of the Lab’s experimental arts writing journal that is part of the annual public program with the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, inviting writers and interdisciplinary practitioners to respond to an exhibition.

Writing in the Expanded Field is the brain child of Lab member Lucinda Strahan and an ongoing partnership between the non/fictionLab and ACCA since 2018. This year the program was led by non/fictionLab Co-Director Professor David Carlin, with program participants Peta Murray, Des Barry, Anna Kate Blair, Kate Jama, Autumn Royal, Elisa Blakeney, Tina Stefanou, Diego Ramirez, Audrey Schmidt and Sophia Cai.

This year’s program responded to the exhibition Overlapping Magisteria: the 2020 Macfarlane Commissions featuring major new works by Robert Andrew, Mimosa Echard, Sidney McMahon, Sam Peterson and Isadora Vaughan. The thematic of overlapping writing brought to the fore questions of collaborative process and the complexities of overlapping sensibilities and concerns. Building on the discoveries of Writing in the Expanded Field Volume I and Volume II, participants in this program explore embodiment, feeling, and intuition in the writer’s encounter with art, experimental writing methodologies and situated poetic and playful ways of knowing alongside critical and curatorial perspectives.
