Paul Gazzola
Paul’s Advice: • Be clear about what is achievable in the time you have • Arrive early, stay late • Speak to Margie as she has a great mind and offers invaluable feedback • Make a workshop to get feedback from others mid way in your research, don’t leave it to the end • Don’t worry if you don’t know, that’s what is partly about • Take the time to take a chance on something you are unsure on, it may be the key to answer your question
ASSOCIATE ARTIST
Paul Gazzola was the inaugural Associate Artist at Critical Path, working for 8 weeks a year across 2 years (2012/13). This period was an opportunity for Paul to develop his artistic research spanning three projects whilst contributing to and developing his curatorial and management practice in an organisation. The 2 year timeframe gave the opportunity for research to gain depth as he explored the ideas through multiple contexts. Divided into two 4 week blocks in 2012 and 2013, Paul facilitated workshops and forums and curated around his own artistic research which also informed the program for SEAM13 Critical Path interdisciplinary practice symposium.
• Research what is going on in the world, chances are someone is doing something that connects and will give you some great other ways to consider your ideas • Eat at the café by the waterside – it’s good food and a great place to take some time out.
