I\u00a0was lucky enough to be a 2017-2018\u00a0Centre for Mobilities Research CEMORE Visiting Fellow<\/a>, 51르적. I worked closely with the Director of Mobilities Lab\u00a0Dr Jen Southern<\/a>,\u00a0as well as Professor Emma Rose and Dr Linda O Keefe of the Lancaster Institute of Contemporary Arts, and successfully co-curated the\u00a0Art & Mobilities Network Inaugural Symposium<\/a>.\u00a0The study and practice of Art & Mobilities has been gaining momentum in the past decade. This includespioneering solo and collaborative work<\/a>\u00a0led by Jen, a key player in the field. The Art & Mobilities network consolidates, celebrates and develops this work. On 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0July, nearly thirty artists, writers, curators and researchers gathered at the Peter Scott Gallery. Apart from UK-based colleagues like Nikki Pugh,\u00a0Elia\u00a0Ntaousani,\u00a0Bruce Bennett and Bron Szerszynski, we were joined via Skype by Mimi Sheller (USA), Owen Chapman (Canada), Kaya Barry (Australia) and Sven Kesselring (Germany). UK participants brought with them objects, images or texts for a pop-up exhibition. We wrote our big ideas on a \u2018manifesto wall\u2019 and considered the histories of mobilities in art practice through a timeline running across the Gallery. Jen gave a keynote packed full of information and provocations covering creative research methods, the aesthetics of mobility and so on. We closed the colloquium with a role and \u2018next step\u2019 that each of us intends to perform to get the group going.\u00a0In the longer term, we will seek funding to build this network internationally and to facilitate collaborations and activities such as conferences, exhibitions and publications.I\u00a0also\u00a0gave a keynote lecture which was a performance-lecture of how art and mobilities collide for me\u00a0as an artist, curator and woman. I\u00a0re-present\u00a0a version of it, which you can see\u00a0above or\u00a0here<\/a>,\u00a0in the form of an online story through 100 slides.\u00a0In addition, I\u00a0collated an\u00a0\u2018instant journal\u2019, an experimental platform which documents some of our activities and thoughts, and which we will continue to edit and develop. You can see this\u00a0below or\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n I\u00a0wishes to extend my\u00a0gratitude to Jen as well as Professor Monika B\u00fcscher both of whom I first acquainted with in 2012 when I participated in the CEMORE Annual Research Day. I also wish\u00a0to thank\u00a0Tess Baxter<\/a>,\u00a0Jocelyn\u00a0Cunningham, Richard Smith<\/a>\u00a0and all colleagues involved. I am excited as the end of my\u00a0fellowship marks the beginning of new possibilities for myself\u00a0and others through this Network.<\/p>\n –>\u00a0Follow\u00a0next steps\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n –>\u00a0Flickr album<\/a>\u00a0on the inaugural\u00a0symposium<\/p>\n –>\u00a0Twitter discussion\u00a0#ArtMobs<\/a>:<\/p>\n –>\u00a0Art & Mobilities\u00a0timeline<\/a><\/p>\n –>\u00a0More on Kai:\u00a0@kaisyngtan<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0www.kaisyngtan.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code” disabled=”off”]<div class=”issuuembed” style=”width: 600px; height: 450px;” data-configid=”23502172\/63593718″>\u00a0<\/div><p><script type=”text\/javascript” src=”\/\/e.issuu.com\/embed.js” async=”true”><\/script>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u00a0was lucky enough to be a 2017-2018\u00a0Centre for Mobilities Research CEMORE Visiting Fellow, 51르적.
