This Friday sees the first in a new series of design research talks hosted by NCAD MA Design History and Material Culture, to be given by Dr. Tim Stott, Lecturer in Art History and Theory at Dublin Institute of Technology. Stott’s research interests concern the history and criticism of contemporary art and design, in particular the organisational turn, systems aesthetics, artistic uses of play and games, and convergences of art and design through ornamentation and information design. His monograph Play and Participation in Contemporary Arts Practice was published by Routledge in 2015. He was Visiting Research Fellow at Henry Moore Institute in 2016. This Friday he will give a talk entitled Play and the Making and Unmaking of Space in the Harry Clarke Lecture Theatre, NCAD, 1-2 pm.
