The LUX Associate Artists Programme is for artists working with the moving image, who have completed a graduate or post-graduate course in the past five years. It aims to provide an intensive course of development focused on critical discourse, extending to the practical and infrastructural issues that present challenges for artists working with the medium. The course aims to provide a mutually supportive context in which to develop work, and to benefit from networking and learning opportunities with arts professionals closely involved in artists moving image, with funding to realise a final group project.
The programme consists of 12 monthly critical seminars taking place at LUX, exploring issues around artists’ moving image in the context of the artists’ own practice. The particular focus of each seminar is decided by the participants in discussion with the programme facilitator, and each one is based around an invited arts professional (artists, curators, writers etc).
In addition, each artist is paired with a mentor who they will meet with six times during the course. They also have continuous access to specialist support from LUX staff and the programme facilitator during the year.
Programme Aims
To create a mutually supportive context which places creative and intellectual practice at the heart of development.
To apply critical discourse as the main tool for achieving development.
To respect artists’ different working practices and to learn from each other’s development.
To explore social and cultural contexts as the location for significant individual practice.
The programme is facilitated by Ian White, Adjunct Film Curator, Whitechapel Gallery.
The LUX Associate Artists Programme is generously supported by The Leverhulme Trust
