You'll Soon Know at Yellow Brick

30.03.2019

STEP 17| “You'll soon know” with Ash Kilmartin and Collette Rayner
In this workshop, we will work toward printing an image depicting the figures of Promise and Demand.

Elaborating on their joint research on the subject of gossip, Rotterdam-based artists Collette Rayner and Ash Kilmartin will present visualizations of gossip as a form of speaking: its historical origins, its social function, its positive and negative uses. How might we make this vocal practice visible?

The figures Promise and Demand are roles that the artists understand all speakers playing, simultaneously, when speaking. They will prepare an image of these figures, based on conversations and local enquiry about what these ‘characters’ might look like. Their visualisations will be traced onto lino for us to cut and print together. Meanwhile, we will hold space for our mouths, ears and imaginations to be busy with storytelling while our hands are busy with carving and inking.

Each participant will choose a lino-plate to cut (an image will be provided, which participants may add to or change if they wish), and once cut, we will print the plates all together into a joint composition. Each participant will take home a copy of this collaboratively cut, composed and printed image—and some new stories to tell…

Bring: lino-cutting tools if you have some (no problem if not!) and some stories: jokes, myths, family anecdotes, favourite folk-tales and fairy stories, dreams good and bad; and your best listening ears and attention span. No prior experience with printmaking is required; and no special expertise with storytelling is expected.

Snacks will be provided, and from 17h-19h we open the studio to any visitors who are curious to see what the artists and their collaborators have been working on.

STEP 17| “You'll soon know” is developed with and at Yellow Brick and is supported by CBK Rotterdam (Centre for Visual Arts Rotterdam), and the European Cultural Foundation
