The Syllabus 2016-17 at Eastside Projects

The Syllabus is a collaboratively produced alternative learning programme which aims to reach artists with a range of practices and artistic approaches and bring together individuals from a wide geographic spread across the UK. It is delivered through a partnership between Wysing Arts Centre, Eastside Projects, Iniva, Spike Island and Studio Voltaire.

Launched in 2015, each Syllabus supports ten artists across ten months with a programme centred around a series of intensive gatherings. These are delivered by artists, curators, writers and other practitioners, and hosted by each of the partner venues. The Syllabus is selected through an open call.

Syllabus VI (2020–21)

Ten artists were selected for Syllabus VI, a national, collaboratively-produced alternative learning programme, delivered by Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge; Eastside Projects, Birmingham; Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts), London; Spike Island, Bristol.

Artists

The selected artists for Syllabus VI were: James Clarkson, Lauren Craig, Ufuoma Essi, Bettina Furnée, Olga Grotova, Helen Hamilton, Elsa James, Freya Johnson Ross, Daniel Trivedy and Sam Williams.

In its sixth year, Syllabus VI provided a learning programme for artists over a ten month period and is supported using public funding from Arts Council England. Syllabus is developed collaboratively with the participating artists, the partner institutions and the artistic advisors, who were Jade Montserrat and Amanprit Sandhu.

The Syllabus VI artists worked across a range of practices, from sound, filmmaking, choreography, sculpture and work in the public realm. Their work researched diverse topics such as archiving, the body, multi-species entanglement, race and representation, materiality, language and interfaces. The ten selected artists live and work across the UK, including Yorkshire, West Wales, the East of England and Greater London.
