John Morrison & Martin Newth: Art – I know what I like and I like what I know
No full textThis talk was part of an In Conversation event with Art Historian Professor John Morrison, held as part of the Berwick Literary Festival 2024. The event marked the conclusion of the LS Lowry exhibition, Lowry and the Sea, at the Granary Gallery in Berwick. It explored questions of taste, identity, and popularity in relation to Lowry’s landscapes and seascapes created in and around Berwick-upon-Tweed.
My presentation drew on my research into identity, the landscape, and the apparatus and nature of depiction. The talk referenced previous projects, including my recent Depictions of Hounslow project, to examine ideas about the interrelationship between a place’s identity and the way it is depicted.
The talk proposed that contemporary decisions regarding the appearance and imagination of Berwick—and other northern parts of the UK’s landscape and cityscape—are shaped by the way these places are depicted. Lowry’s popularity as a quintessentially ‘northern’ artist contributes to this narrative.
The talk focused on three aspects of my approach to artwork to consider Lowry’s impact:
1. Taste and Ideas of ‘Authority’ – framed by Pierre Bourdieu’s Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste, which argues that taste is not purely individual but a social construct.
2. Relatability and the ‘Nature of the Encounter’ – with reference to my previous project, Rezension, which explored the moment, or event, of the encounter with 15th-century Gothic sculptures.
3. Depiction and Perception of Place – examining how the way a place is depicted affects how it is imagined and, ultimately, the decisions we make about our environment

Muriel Spark as auto-biographer in <i>Curriculum</i> <i>Vitae</i>
No full textExamining Muriel Spark's main aims as an auto-biographer in her work Curriculum Vitae brings important resources in the exploration of the genre of autobiographical writing. This with the theoretical engagement, allows consideration of the critical issues surrounding the roles of author and reader in the construction of the literary self. Spark demands the reader participate in the constructon of textual meaning; overturning the conventions of autobiography, satirising its claims to omniscience and highlighting the impossibility of an authentic voice with regard to the self
"Martin Creed: Conceptual Art and More"
No full textIn this paper, I put forward a philosophical analysis of some works by Martin Creed. I suggest that all the works under consideration are works of conceptual art as well as of installation art, and that they display significant expressive properties. The paper is structured as follows: in the first section, I claim that the works are ontologically similar and that they all appear problematic, because it is not very clear how they should be appreciated as artworks; in the second section, I argue that the works belong to the genre conceptual art, that they are presented for intellectual appreciation, and that this is compatible with the fact that they also have expressive properties; in the third section, I submit that the works also belong to the category installation art and I explain what expressive properties they display. In the conclusion, I remark briefly on the interaction between the intellectual and aesthetic appreciation of Creed's works
