Oxford artist Roma Tearne to take up research fellowship
The School of Arts and Humanities is very pleased to announce that from October 2005 renowned Oxford artist Roma Tearne will hold a 3-year AHRC Fellowship in the Creative and Performing Arts, hosted by the Department of Fine Art. Her project, entitled 'Investigating and accessing narrative and memory through artistic practice in a Museum context', will explore the relationship between museum and archival collections and artistic practice. The working theory is that the artist, by revealing the hidden history of objects, is able to stimulate the imagination of museum audiences and curators into new and fresh responses. Two principal sites have been identified: the Imperial War Museum and Pompeii, because each is a memorial to disaster. The various means by which the research will be undertaken include installation, photography, narrative text and film and will be assessed through interactive methods including a web site and audience discussion in seminars.Posted by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on 12 Jul 2005 around 10am
