Folds in Time: Artists' responses to the Temporal and the Uncanny
Day conference
Convened by Brass Art as part of the Festival of the Unconscious.

This conference brings together artists, curators and writers to examine the ways artists harness aspects of the uncanny and the unconscious in their navigation of physical and imagined spaces. Built around artists'
practices which have responded to the repressed, the unthought or the untold, and which employ fractured, dream-like or metamorphic narratives; the conference will mix keynote addresses with artist-in-conversations.

Participants:
Patricia Allmer, Leading scholar of Surrealism and Chancellor's Fellow at Edinburgh College of Art at University of Edinburgh.
