The Art of Not Making: A talk by Michael Petry Artists talk and discussion with Fiaz Elson, Aimee Laz and Cory Burr Saturday 11th May 6.30pm SVA, 4 John St, Stroud, GL5 2HA £4/£5 advance, £6 on door Can an artist claim that an object is their work of art if it has been made for him or her by someone else? If so, who is the 'author' of such a work? And just what is the difference between a work of art and a work of craft? Michael Petry will be talking about his recent book 'The Art of Not Making The New Artist Artisan Relationship'. He tackles these questions head on, exploring concepts of authorship, artistic originality, skill, craftsmanship and the creative act. The Curator's Salon - The Art Podcast hosted by Gita Joshi Michael Petry is the guest on this episode of the podcast. He talks about his new book The Word is Art published by Thames and Hudson in 2018. Alongside each of his books, Michael produces an exhibition and in this episode he discusses the issues he is facing given the current situation with Brexit in the UK. The political negotiations around Brexit appear to have excluded the creative industries much to Michael's frustration and he talks about the hold up of his own project as well as his peers. He explains how arts institutions on mainland Europe are unable to commit to exhibitions and projects due to the uncertainty caused by Brexit discussions. The conversation then turns to language; language that is visual, written, spoken and with cultural context. The book covers 200 artists working across 60 languages and we discussed issues around putting the book together and in particular issues around translating art work and ideas.
