We’d like to promote the forthcoming Storying Sheffield event where artist Paul Digby and Dr Brendan Stone will be discussing art in mental health services.
Tuesday October 26 2010 (5:30pm - 7:00pm)
Presenters: Paul Digby and Brendan Stone
‘An Arrangement of Knowledge: Contemporary Art Practice and Mental Health’
Location:
Douglas Knoop Centre
Humanities Research Institute
University of Sheffield

Free admission
This event will explore the relevance and purpose of art in mental health services and provision. Leeds-based artist Paul Digby will discuss his work in this field, including his projects at Rampton Special Hospital and the former High Royds psychiatric hospital in Leeds. He will consider the influence on his work of the artists Marcel Duchamp and Jean Dubuffet, and the psychiatrists R.D. Laing and Eric Berne. Brendan Stone from the School of English will discuss the intellectual influences behind the University’s Storying Sheffield project, and consider whether artistic engagement presents challenges to some medical approaches to mental illness. Participants from Storying Sheffield will also talk about their work. All are very welcome to attend - admission is free.
