Discursive Spaces - Asylum Art Gallery's residency program

The [ Discursive spaces ] residency project is an annual 6 month program of mentoring and engagement between the physical and philosophical spaces in which our local communities are creating and therefore contributing to its ever expanding [ spaces within spaces ] in the city of Wolverhampton.

The program will see 5 Black Country artists take up residency over the first half of 2020.

The first resident artist is Jayne Murray is a visual artist who practices in the public realm. She engages people through critical practice, working with issues of social and place related significance. Her work carefully considers context and uses image and text and other everyday mediums to create accessible opportunities for making participatory public art. She is interested in art being part of the everyday and how it can be used as a means for affecting change. Her work often feeds into development plans.

Jayne Murray will showcase her research and response on 24th January from 6pm - 9pm (free entry and refreshments). Then open to view daily | 11am - 3pm | 27th - 31st January

There will be further events and happenings scheduled throughout her residency.

Each residency will contribute to a solo show, an academic publication by writer in residence Nathaniel Grant and documented by Apex Pro Media and presented as a group show in June at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
