WRITE
April 16, 2013
Drawing by David Shrigley
—
RTS has organized a series of donation-based writing workshops for artists. This series was inspired by a debate from the Institutions by Artists conference last fall in Vancouver, Canada. The debate was titled Should Artist Professionalize, there was no clear winner, but many provocative thoughts and ideas were raised. One tool that emerged as useful for all art professions is writing. These workshops are designed for artists but open to everyone.

March 08, 2013
RTS is happy to welcome Zoe Taleporos as the March/April 2013 resident. While at RTS, Taleporos will continue a body of research that explores the history of public access television, and ways in which artists have used it as a medium or exhibition platform. Her work will concentrate on the impetus to democratize television media, beginning with the activities of 60s/70s video collectives, and will explore the eventual use of public access television, particularly in New York City during the 70s/80s. Her work will be presented during the April edition of RTS Talks, and as part of The Lecturers, a series of commissioned online seminars.
