Topographies of the Obsolete is an artistic research project conceived in 2012 by
University of Bergen Professors Neil Brownsword and Anne Helen Mydland,
in collaboration with six European HEI’s and the British
Ceramics Biennial.
Emerging through two phases (2012-15; 2015-2020) it has to date engaged
ninety-seven interdisciplinary artists, scholars, cultural commentators and
students from thirteen countries. It has transformed participants’ practices, with
works originating out of the initial research being celebrated on an international
platform. Topographies of the Obsolete has received funding from a variety
of
institutions, alongside its core support from the Norwegian Artistic Research
Programme (2013-15 & 2015-17), whose peer review system (2015)
rated it
as ‘exemplary… strengthening artistic research and its scope beyond potential
communities of practitioners/researchers’. The project explores the landscape and associated histories of post-industry,
with an initial emphasis on Stoke-on-Trent, a world-renowned ceramics capital that bears evidence of fluctuations in global fortunes.

This is for making an exposition that only contains a single PDF.
If you want to make a proper blog-like article, use the text-based editor “empty” template instead, as this one is very wide.
How to use this PDF template:
-
Put your cursor on an empty line, below “end of instructions”.
-
Click the “Upload Media” button, select your pdf file.
-
When the uploading is complete, click the “insert” button.
This will insert a ! { media } tag.
-
You can now remove everything between and including the “start of instructions”. The only text that is needed is the ! { media } tag, representing the pdf.
-
Click preview (the eye symbol at the top of this screen), to confirm everything is correct.
