Criticism as a Love Letter with Laura Robertson

BANG ON

*Currently pepping myself up to write the copy for today's episode*

Let writing into your life...

We chat with Laura Robertson, a working-class art critic, writer, editor and award-winning lecturer based in Liverpool, represented by United Agents, London. She co-founded The Double Negative online arts magazine with Mike Pinnington in 2011, and has been commissioning and platforming under-the-radar people, projects and places ever since – including under-represented and early-career culture writers from the North of England.

This episode is, as you may expect, all about WRITING. Writing doesn't always feel like it fits into an art practice, but Laura tells us all about how letting writing into your life and art can be transformative in more ways than one.

About the show:

BANG ON is a knowledge sharing podcast, breaking down some of the steps we’ve picked up along the way as an organisation and as artists in building a successful arts career. It’s for emerging artists, packaging tips and tricks on some of the topics we’ve often been asked about over the years. In Season 1 we took you through all the steps of putting an exhibition together. In Season 2, we take you through the broader arts cultural landscape, plotting the uncharted waters of opportunities, education, artist-led activity, identity, rejection, mental health and MORE!

Yep, you might say this podcast is BANG ON - let's get stuck in!!!
