Visiting Professor lecture: Heather Peak and Ivan Morison
Welcome to an artists’ talk and lecture by our visiting professors Heather Peak and Ivan Morison, Wednesday 25th September starting at 5pm.
Artists Heather Peak and Ivan Morison have established an ambitious collaborative practice that transcends traditional divisions between art, architecture, theatre and activism. Their work is often performance-based and site-specific, existing as one-off events, social projects, or large-scale installations and buildings in public spaces. In particular, they are known for their architectural structures that relate to ideas of escape, play, shelter and refuge, the transformation of the modern city, and the function of civic communities.
Their central preoccupation has always been how we navigate catastrophe and the violence of change – from the wider collective view down to how individuals deal with moments of personal calamity.
Heather and Ivan have been working with a group of students in Myllytori, so come and experience the ongoing project and installation before their talk!
