Critical Publications

Writer-In-Residence

The writer-in-residence program is an initiative from Latitude 53 that builds upon the mandate of Latitude 53 to provide a forum for dialogue about contemporary visual culture throughout communities. Situated as a six-month residency, the writer engages Latitude 53 programming for the greater Edmonton-regional community and beyond through critical writing. The writer-in-residence will create a minimum of three writings a month and may choose to coordinate, create, or incite critical dialogue about visual culture through other complementary programming activities as well.

Latitude 53's current writer-in-residence is Megan Bertagnolli. Megan Bertagnolli is an Edmonton-based writer who recently completed a Master’s thesis about contemporary museum culture and art, and has previously written about art in institutional and freelance positions, as well as being involved in various curatorial projects. She feels strongly about engaging the community in dialogue on visual culture and discussing the relationships of art and institutions in an accessible context. She will be writing for the Latitude 53 blog from October 2011 to March 2012.
