Tracing the Tacit - Artists Retreat, Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge

  • Miloslav Vorlicek
Co-curated series of lectures and workshops around the theme of the ‘Disorientation’. Developed and delivered 5-day retreat programme for 8 participants. Artists, art-writers and curators explored underlying ideas, influences and concept, which inform their practice but are not immediately apparent in their finished work. The retreat was organised around four key themes: Silence, Chance, Disorientation and Entropy - subliminal systems that govern creative decision-making and create tacit forms of experience and knowledge. We invited proposals for a workshop centred around one of the four topics, at a duration of one hour. During five immersive and reflective days selected participants led their own workshop, took part in the activities led by others and joined in talks by invited speakers as a means of exploring their practice, sharing ideas, and approaching their work from other perspectives.
