Join us for an online behind the scenes studio visit at Spike Island. This is a chance to explore artists’ and makers’ studios, see their working environments, processes and works-in-progress.
In this studio visit, meet artist filmmaker and academic Vicky Smith who has worked in experimental animation and film for over 30 years. Her work has been screened in galleries and at festivals internationally and she is a co-founder of artist collective Bristol Experimental Expanded Film (BEEF). In this talk, Smith shares her artistic practice, some recent works and wider interests around analogue film production and education, collectivism, and modes of presentation with Spike Island assistant curator Rosa Tyhurst.
The conversation is followed by a Q&A with the online audience.
