Studio Visiting Speaker Rod Dickinson “My recent projects use detailed research into moments of the past and present, to make a series of meticulously re-enacted events and simulations that represent both the mechanisms that enable belief, and the social systems that make belief systems function. In 2002 I recreated Dr. Stanley Milgram's infamous 1961 social psychology experiment Obedience to Authority at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Glasgow. Other recent work re-imagines the effect of a little known terrorist attack on Greenwich Observatory in 1894, had it succeeded...” Dickinson has also recreated the sermons of the reverend Jim Jones and been part of a group responsible for large numbers of crop circles all over the country in the nineties...

Studio Visiting Speaker Shezaad Dawood My work plays with cultural forms such as advertising, film posters, popular iconography and the contemporary 'art object' in order to subvert traditional cultural borders. In so doing suggesting how epehemeral they are (both the borders and the forms themselves). My most recent and ambitious work, the 'Make It Big' series, involved the staging of a hoax remake of Antonioni's 'Blow Up' in a former colonial film studio, in the suburbs of Karachi in Pakistan (the most recent port of call in my family's migratory history). With this work I was interested in ideas of cultural translation and fiction, as well as more specific issues of cinematic time and the question of subjectivity. The series' title is in effect a literal re-translation of 'Blow Up ' from the Urdu, and consists of 'film posters', notional black and white production stills, as well as purported colour wide screen stills - excerpts or edits from an original that doesn't exist...”

Studio Visiting Speaker Emma Hedditch Her productions include: 'This is what we have done, and this is what we are doing' (2005), animated drawings by persons in the context of the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival; 'Video home, come on' (2004), a home-video viewing session and archive, with Electra and Electric Studios, Brixton; 'Parts of it are moving', an ongoing collection of digital images with persons engaged in or the results of anarchist thought and social strategies, shown in 'Double Check. Re-Framing Space in Photography: The Other Space, Parallel Histories', Gallery of Contemporary Art, Celje, Slovenia, 2004 and Camera Austria, Graz, Austria, 2005. The projects Emma sets herself and others try to go to the roots of a given situation. The outcome of these projects depends on time, circumstances (prior knowledge), health, enthusiasm/support, money amongst other things. Ongoing research into Feminist thought and writing, has informed much of this activity, as well as a desire to expose the economics of art production
