Kelly Lloyd
RESEARCH RESIDENCY
Spring–Summer 2021
Artist Kelly Lloyd is currently undertaking a research residency at Flat Time House focusing on John Latham’s collection of books. Latham’s library, which includes books intended for the making of artwork as well as for research purposes, has never been catalogued or the subject of sustained investigation. In addition to being interested in Latham's ideas concerning the intersection between time and value, Kelly Lloyd will explore the library with particular interest in Latham's personal books vs. books for work, marginalia and other physical interventions, and personal collections as forms of portraiture. Kelly Lloyd will present her research through a public outcome in September 2021.
A publication produced by Kelly Lloyd as a result of the residency is available to download as a pdf via the artist's website here.
The book contains a speculative library, and reflections on conversations with Flat Time House Director/Curator Gareth Bell-Jones, Noa Latham, son of John Latham and Barbara Steveni and Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Calgary, and Lisa Stone, Curator of the Roger Brown Study Collection from 1996–2020.
