Michelle & Sid Writing

From Jessica Courtney Bennett at projectartworks.org

For the exhibition Kaleidoscopic Realms at Nottingham Castle we were asked to commission two writers to comment on the practice and work of Michelle Roberts and Siddharth Gadiyar. The writing is used in the exhibition programme which you can download here: Kaleidoscopic Realms Booklet. We approached Tony Colley, who was an Artist Lead working with Michelle for many years in the Project Art Works studio. Tony wrote: When first encountering the works of Michelle Roberts the visual feast in front of us draws us into a world that bridges our engagement with her imaginative reality, a reality we share.

How Art Works, Stories of Supported Studios by Dr Chloe Watern has been published by Routledge. “We do not know what we do not know. We do not see what we do not see. We do not hear what we do not hear. This book redresses ongoing invisibility and silence. At the same time, it challenges modes of thinking that seek to classify and define. Through stories of particular people and practices, I conceptualise art as a mode of being, a way of communing with the world, and each other within it.
