Leeds College of Art would like to invite you to the next Creative Networks event with 2012 Turner Prize winner Elizabeth Price. Price will talk about her creative journey and process plus more recent accolades such as winning the Turner Prize.

The Woolworths Choir of 1979, 2012 - Price's winning entry is an empowering audio visual experience. The Guardian's art critic, Adrian Searle, praised the work for its resonance with the lives of audiences and elements of personal memory.

Price’s practice explores art and design objects, social history artefacts, archives and administrative paraphernalia. Price creates art works, using existing archives and collections, and from which she develops new narratives and taxonomies. This work usually incorporates a diverse range of media including photography, high definition video, live action, motion graphics, animation and sound.

Price was born in Bradford, Yorkshire in 1966 and grew up in Luton Bedfordshire, attending Putteridge Comprehensive High School. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford University in 1988, and then an MA in Fine Art from the Royal College of Art in 1991. In 1999 Price completed a PhD in Fine Art at the University of Leeds. In 2004 Price won the Jerwood Artists Platform Prize. Between 2004-6 she was Research Fellow in Fine Art at London Metropolitan University and in 2007 was awarded the Stanley Picker Fellowship at Kingston University.

Since then she has taught at Kingston University, Goldsmiths College and the Royal College of Art. In 2012 Price was in residence at Wysing Arts Centre. In 2012 (until 2013) she became the first artist-in-residence at the Rutherford Appleton Space Laboratory in Oxfordshire. In November 2012 she was one of five artist recipients of the Paul Hamlyn ‘Awards for Artists Programme’ of £50,000 for 3 years.

PRICE: Delegate: £17 / Student - Free


This two-day symposium will explore issues surrounding the collaborative process on two levels:

1. as it occurs between academic researchers in the creative arts and professional practitioners in commercial organisations in the creative arts industries (and beyond)

2. as it focuses attention and understanding on the tacit/implicit dimensions of working across different media (including music, dance, design, creative writing, architecture and the creative industries).


The key themes of the symposium, arising from these two aspects of collaboration, will include:

• Collaboration 1: researchers working alone and together using different media and/or materials

• Collaboration 2: in relation to knowledge exchange and research effectively shared

• Performativity: exploring the process of doing research;

• Articulation: how research collaborators communicate their methods and findings to each other and their audiences;

• Ethics: exploring issues of authorship in collaborative projects.

There will be a number of keynote addresses including:

Mine Dogantan Dack (Middlesex University), with a presentation entitled “Why collaborate?: Towards a philosophy and politics of creative collaboration”.



The symposium will address questions including the following:

• What are the goals of knowledge exchange? How can the creative arts inform industry? How, in turn, does industry inform the creative arts?

• How does collaborative practice work, and how do collaborators ensure the effective sharing of knowledge? To what extent do/should collaborative artists disseminate the collaborative aspects of the work as well as the work itself?

• How do artists articulate knowledge and learning across different media? What strategies do they use for sharing their ideas with collaborators and audiences?

• How does collaboration in the creative arts raise ethical considerations and what is their impact on artists, their work and their audience? What ethical considerations are raised by collaborative practice research in creative arts contexts? What specific ethical issues must be addressed by academic and professional partners when they collaborate on creative and practice research projects?

• Who is the author of collaborative work? Who owns it?

• How can we present research findings in the creative arts via the media of the creative arts?

Social Media isn’t the answer to Marketing, however encompassing it with traditional marketing techniques will help with brand awareness, which in turn will help build trust, loyalty and engagement.

Relationships are the most important thing any company should harness in this Digital Age.

So are you building relationships to last or just getting bums on seats?
By building a strong foundation to your company, the business will then come in organically.
So how do you create brand ambassadors and recognition by using the latest marketing techniques?
During this workshop, Amanda from Koogar will show you new ways of thinking about who you are as a company, how to attract the audience you want by getting them to engage with you on or offline by creating the perfect journey.
You will work through a series of exercises which you can then take away and implement with your company the very next day!
