Art vapours: ways of seeing, hearing and speaking again

TL;DRAbstract

Engaging particularly with the conference themes of drawing and writing, theory and practice, this paper proposes to talk first about a special issue of the Journal of Visual Culture published in 2012 (marking the 40th anniversary of Ways of Seeing), going on to introduce a second project, called Art Vapours. The journal issue was co-edited by Raiford Guins, Juliette Kristensen and susan pui san lok, and comprises eighteen short contributions and reflections from historians, theorists, writers, thinkers, curators and makers, from across the fields of art history, visual culture and practice. The issue also includes an interview by Kristensen with Mike Dibb (producer, filmmaker and collaborator on Ways of Seeing), and a selection of visual essays commissioned by lok. In addition, lok produced a visual response to Dibb’s personal archive, called ‘Making Ways’, under the rubric, ‘Archivery’. The second part of the paper will focus on a new collaboration between lok and Kristensen,
