PLYMOUTH RESEARCH FESTIVAL 2019
Making an impact from local to global

Venue:  Jill Craigie Cinema, Roland Levinsky Building, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AA.
Times: 14:00 - 16:30

The aim of this session is to evaluate the outcome of a series of artist research residencies organised in partnership with Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre (NiMAC) with particular reference to 'residency' as a means of fostering enquiry and critical reflection, and the import and impact of 'exhibition' as a form of communication.

Between 2013 and 2017, seven artists associated with the University of Plymouth, responded to Cyprus through residencies at Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre (NiMAC). The resulting work indicates a range of different responses to the island and to the complex layers of Cypriot culture, a place where historically the Hellenic and the Islamic were variously entangled and, along with legacies of British colonialism, remain marked now.

Taking the Nicosia practice-led research programme as a focus, this presentation by organised by Land/Water and the Visual Arts (research group) at University of Plymouth will focus on ‘residency’ as a means of fostering creative investigations in response to place. Through this case study the event invites critical reflection on the pleasures and challenges of research in previously unfamiliar locations, and will also offer an opportunity to evaluate responses to the various artist projects as brought together for exhibition at NiMAC in Autumn 2018.

Whilst the residency model is common within arts practice, it is rare (possibly unique) for this to be sponsored by a university as an international research partnership. The presentation will also offer an opportunity to consider the values for the individual researcher of fostering concentrated 'field research' opportunities, along with other benefits to the university including institutional relationships that the partnership is contributing to facilitating.
