Event Description
- Full Description:
- In association with the exhibition 'Born to Concrete: Visual Poetry from the Collections of Heide Museum of Modern Art and The University of Queensland', please join us for a program of lectures, talks and performances that explore the creative space of art, language and poetry.
The seminar seeks to expand awareness of the possibilities created by combining word and image, on or off the page, and enhance understanding of the experimental ways artists and poets have made works in the spirit of earlier avant-garde movements such as Dada, Futurism and Fluxus. It is in the context of the avant-garde that the seminar acknowledges the innovative work of the late academic and writer, Nicholas Zurbrugg, in developing a theoretical and creative space in which to appreciate visual poetry as a cross-pollination of art and language.
The seminar complements the focus in the new Australian curriculum 'The Arts' on developing and enriching student learning by providing professional development experiences that value ongoing professional renewal, reflective practice and support interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration. We welcome Visual Art and English teachers, and teachers of other high school disciplines to participate in the seminar.
A free online Learning Resource, developed by Heide Museum of Modern Art, together with a video supporting the exhibition 'Born to Concrete: Visual Poetry from the Collections of Heide Museum of Modern Art and The University of Queensland', is available from www.artmuseum.uq.edu.au/learning
