Alumna Faye Golley, who graduated with a BA (Hons) in History and Philosophy of Art<\/a> in 2016, is currently curating the Strangelove Time-based Media Festival 2019<\/a>, which will feature a special symposium at the Folkestone Quarterhouse<\/a>, held on Friday 22 March 2019.<\/p>\n

Faye is Founder and Gallery Director of Casement Arts<\/a>, a window gallery in Folkestone, Co-director of Threads\u00a0Nomadic Gallery<\/a>, which aids artist development through regular discourse and criticism outside main institutions, and is curator and project manager of the Strangelove Time-based Media Festival.<\/p>\n

Faye explains how her involvement in the Festival came about: \u2018In my first year of being a graduate I threw myself at as many opportunities that I came across; I volunteered at a\u00a0number of arts festivals. My first proper job was as an assistant producer for Threads Nomadic Gallery, which led to me joining the team and being invited to curate a show as part of Strangelove Festival 2017.<\/p>\n

\u2018As a student I also did some invigilating at Studio 3. The way audiences entered and interacted with the exhibitions always fascinated me. Which way did they walk around the show? Was this the way the curator had intended\u00a0them to walk? Which work did they stop at again was this all planned by the curator? I loved it when someone broke the trend, and now when I curate shows I try and think of how that person would move around the space.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Festival was launched at the Photographer’s Gallery<\/a> in London, 23 February, before moving to the Turner Contemporary<\/a> in Margate and the Fabrica<\/a> in Brighton, with the festival will concluding with five days of events in Folkestone\u2019s Creative Quarter from 20 March.<\/p>\n

The theme of the symposium is \u2018Past, Present Future: What is Time-Based Media?\u2018 It will begin with a rough history of video art by artist and writer Chris Meigh-Andrews<\/a>, who also will chair the programme, followed by presentations from Larry Achiampong<\/a>, Manuel Vason<\/a>, Jane England<\/a>, Keith Piper\u00a0<\/a>and Lois Keidan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
