15 Minutes With… – #2 Maddy Costa and Mary Paterson on Critical Writing

For the second in our 15 Minutes With… series we invited writers Maddy Costa and Mary Paterson to discuss the relationship between critical writing and Live Art. 

15 Minutes With…” is a series of short dialogues with some of the exceptional artists and thinkers that LADA has had the pleasure of working with over the last 15 years.  Using the lens of the Agency and the occasion of our 15th Anniversary, the dialogues will reflect on how critical some of these shifts have been, not only to Live Art, but to the wider culture of the UK.

There will be a series of “15 Minutes With…” podcasts launched throughout 2014. Have a listen here
