Reading Group: The Magic Circle

Artist, Ellie Wyatt convenes the second iteration of their reading group The Magic Circle at Biblioteka. Cheryl Spinner’s text The Spell & The Scalpel: Scientific Sight in Early 3D Photography will be the starting point for an informal conversation exploring early stereoscopic images in relation to scientific and magical sight, embodiment, phantom, trickery, detail, gender and enchantment.

RSVP is essential and space is limited, so do book your spot early by writing to ellie.wyatt@network.rca.ac.uk with the subject “The Magic Circle”. This is also how you will receive the text ahead of the event.

Her research-led practice seeks to challenge how objectivity is represented, cultivated and often fabricated within science and visual cultures. She works across printmaking, publication, installation, moving image and text, as well as participatory projects including site explorations, talks, workshops and seminars.
