Abstract: | Practicing Landscape: Land, Histories and Transformation Online Symposium was curated to complement the exhibition Practicing Landscape: Land, Histories & Transformation that comprised practice-led research held at the Lighthouse, Glasgow (25 Jan-22 March 2020). The exhibition utilised the gallery as a dynamic space where reflexive curatorial, creative and theoretical practices relating to current debates in landscape research were investigated by the artists and explored with a wider public over the exhibition period, creating an important framework for new practice-led and applied research to be disseminated to diverse audiences. For the Practicing Landscape: Land, Histories and Transformation Online Symposium, academic papers, selected through a double peer review process, were chosen to complement and extend themes addressed in the exhibition through practice. The Symposium was to have taken place on 19-20 March 2020, as the closing event for the exhibition at The Lighthouse, Glasgow. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the symposium transferred online and ran on a weekly basis, over a period of 6 weeks, from 6 November to 11 December 2020. The format of the Symposium included two invited Keynote speakers – Ingrid Pollard and Dr Louise Purbrick – and also included four thematic sessions, each comprising three speakers, chaired by a respondent from the Reading Landscape Group. Presentations contributing to the Symposium drew upon the exhibition, furthering discussion of the key themes of interest: For further information on the Symposium see: https://readingthelandscapesite.wordpress.com/2020/03/12/practising-landscape-land-histories-and-transformation-symposium-19-and-22-march-2020/ |

Additional Information: | The Reading Landscape research group is led by Susan Brind and Dr Nicky Bird. Devised by Brind and Bird, the originality of PRACTICING LANDSCAPE: Land, Histories & Transformation – Symposium and Exhibition was the public staging of contemporary artworks within a framework of practice-led and real world research, and theoretical ideas, that contributed directly to debates in landscape research from physical, experiential, land-based work to complex political readings of space and territory. In the same way that selected Symposium contributions were double peer reviewed by Susan Brind, Nicky Bird, Jenny Brownrigg, Frances Robertson and Gina Wall, contributions to the exhibition were rigorously considered by a Curatorial Working Group, comprising: Christine McBride, Shauna McMullan, Lesley Punton, Prof Ross Sinclair, and Jenny Brownrigg. The Online Symposium was structured and delivered as follows: Session 1 – Friday 6 November 2020: Session 2: Wild Places – Friday 13 November 2020 Session 3: Histories – Friday 20 November 2020 Session 4 – Friday 27 November 2020: Session 5: People & Place – Friday 4 December 2020 Session 6: Contentious Landscapes – Friday 11 December 2020 As Director of Exhibitions, Jenny Brownrigg also had an over-arching view of this project as part of her reflexive curatorial approach to the dissemination of creative practices and worked closely with Brind and Bird in the realisation of the Symposium and related Exhibition at The Lighthouse, Glasgow. Technical support for the delivery of the Symposium was provided by Rebecca Oliva and support for the transcription of subtitles and uploading of recordings by Cat Weir. |
