Tim Sandys-Renton talks about plans for Unity Arts Trust, and its ambitions for a large studio building for artists and craftspeople within the Graylingwell redevelopment (N.E. Chichester) in 2013/14. In the meantime he has set up UNITY STUDIOS in a temporary space, with the task of growing the vision in a relatively small but focused manner. The project aims to be both a community-arts and a creative/cultural small-business start-up scheme, and by linking these two quite different types of activity Unity Arts Trust aims to pilot a new way of supporting artists and the local Chichester community.

This seminar will focus on some of the ways in which the objects, strategies, and concepts of conjuring—or what Simon During has called ‘secular’ magic—might be seen to converge with those of contemporary art practice. Jonathan Gilhooly is an artist who has explored this theme through both his PhD research, and his recent art practice. He will draw upon Alfred Gell’s theory of art and agency, in which an artwork is treated as a particular, cognitively salient kind of agent, through which the agency of a social other can be inferred.
