Something To Do With Art - 15 - Egidija Čiricaitė by Something To Do With Art published on 2021-10-10T13:16:15Z What is an artist book? In this episode I discuss books and book art with Egidija Čiricaitė. We talk about how books function as cultural objects, how our preconceptions inform our expectations of what the contents might be and how readers of books are portrayed on social media. Egidija tells me that she thinks she has now become a poet, and she shares some of her favourite books. We also discuss the relationship between academic research and artistic practice - what, if any, is the link between the two? - and I discover the perils of trying to pronounce Egidija's surname. Egidija Ciricaite is an artist, poet and PhD candidate at the Slade School of Fine Art and UCL Linguistics, where she is researching Relevance Theory and metaphor. LINKS www.egidija.com Genre Art
