I’m delighted to have been asked to talk at the conference that will be held to close the exhibition Virginia Woolf An Exhibition Inspired by Her Writings.

 Performing Identity – Talk Synopsis
EJ Major discusses the development of her work Shoulder to Shoulder  and how performance helped her address some of the questions that arose from research into the Suffragette Movement. Informed by Woolf’s writings the talk also explores the paths – intellectual, emotional and physical – that interlink women’s lives through generations.

The Reading Room curated by Beth Greenacre
Sam Dargan, Lara Davies, EJ Major, Gideon Rubin, Abigail Reynolds

Artists have a long and interesting history with books and the written word, from illuminated manuscripts to those who made books as an artistic endeavor, such as William Morris at the Kelmscott Press. More recently conceptual practices took the form of books with artists choosing the format to create work. The Reading Room however does not look at artists books as a medium – though some of the artists in the exhibition create artists books – rather it brings together a group of artists who are engaged with books, magazines and printed material as sites of research and source material.
