We look forward to hosting 10 participants for a new Winter School event with Jamie Crewe in partnership with Hospitalfield in November.
Please note that the application deadline for Winter School has now passed.
The residential winter school will take place over the weekend of 10 – 12 November 2023 and will be led by artist Jamie Crewe. Participants have been selected through an application process open to artists, curators, programmers and writers who are based in Scotland and are interested in exploring some key questions in Jamie’s practice within a small group setting.
A group of ten participants will spend time together at Hospitalfield, with Jamie and members of the LUX Scotland team, to explore aspects of Jamie’s practice through a programme of film screenings, group reading sessions, discussions and meals. Jamie will introduce participants to her recent work ‘False Wife’ (2022) and present a wide range of cultural material that is important to her and her thinking, including feature films by other directors, archival footage of influential musical performances and select texts for group readings.
The weekend will centre around ‘False Wife’, including a traversal of that piece and a group reading of ‘False Wife Comments’ (2023), which provides commentary on its text. Alongside this, there will be screenings, readings and activities which expand on themes within ‘False Wife’ including “continuity and discontinuity of the self, fidelity, and the mysteries of justice” and aspects of the work that Jamie articulates as “gestures like winter, pornography and slide guitar”.
