'Curationis', focusing on his recent project at and collaboration with Stuart Brisley at Peterlee in the
North East.
In 1976 Stuart Brisley was Artist in Residence for Peterlee Newtown in County Durham. This led him to pose the question, 'What is the history within living memory of a new town?' Over an 18 month period he worked with the population of Peterlee to produce an accretive resource which held memory and the vernacular culture at hand. In 2004 Tim Brennan and Stuart Brisley embarked on a new development of the project.This talk will look at the implications for artists and curators working with archives and social relations in a climate where 'process' and 'social engagement' form the new orthodoxy.
Tim Brennan, currently an AHRB Fellow in the Creative and Performingarts at Sunderland University, will give a presentation followed by a discussion
