Writing workshop
with Mark Leahy at the 2nd geekfest biennale


27th May 11am-1pm FREE (booking essential as limited to 5 places)


We will use objects as a starting point to explore the relationship between
object and text and the possibilities of creating textual objects.  These
might be things we find at Branksome Dene  tools, beach hut, beach ball,
spade, cup and saucer.


MARK LEAHY is a writer, artist and curator, who works with texts, actions and
things. His work operates between textual practice and visual arts, and the
curation of exhibitions, publications and events around visual verbal
relations. He works with questions of the body as sensing and as affected,
and explores this in work using language, models of perception, modes of
reception, and objects of everyday use. Recent critical essays include
'Plantation and Thicket: A Double (Sight) Reading of Sir Thomas Browne's
'Garden of Cyrus', in Performance Research 10.2; and 'Private public reading:
Readers in digital literature installation' in The Blackwell Companion to
Digital Literary Studies. He curated the exhibition 'Public Pages' as part of
the conference Poetry and Public Language at University of Plymouth (April
2007). He is MA Programme Leader at Dartington Campus, University College
Falmouth, England and teaches on the Writing courses there.
