This is the first of two day-long workshops at the Lab on writing art criticism. Led by PVA editors and art critics Nathan O’Donnell and Marysia Wieckiewicz-Carroll, these workshops will combine theory and practice, including reading and discussion sessions as well as creative writing exercises. Participants will be encouraged to engage as critics with the two exhibitions on show at the Lab. These will be open and welcoming sessions, exploring some of the major questions facing the writer on visual art.
