As part of my contribution to Portfolio NW at the Bluecoat, I have invited a selection of writers, artists, academics and curators to contribute a text to a dedicated a-n artists talking blog throughout the exhibition. By widening the conversation, the blog seeks to discuss and highlight themes around critical writing in the North West and beyond.

The most recent posts this week were part of an interesting collaborative text produced by members of Islington Mill Art Academy:
