Ptarmigan operated in Tallinn from 2011-2014. We no longer maintain any presence in Tallinn, but this website will continue to serve as an archive of the activities produced at Ptarmigan during these years.
Will Slater is a London-based artist and writer who works mostly with performance. In 2012 he graduated from Wimbledon College of Art with a BA in Fine Art: Print & Time Based Media.
He has performed lectures and broadcasts in various venues around London with his lecture entitled, 'Beginnings of a Media Event', which he also took to the live art event, Tempting Failure in Bristol 2013. Will has also taken part for the past three years in the international artists' network, Mileskm. This started as a collaborative exhibition between British and Spanish artists in Madrid, and has developed into an annual residency, focussing on exchanges of ideas and collectivity, which he'll be co-organising in Spain this September.
When staying with Ptarmigan, he will be attempting to develop a new project called 'What We've Learned While Walking' with the journey of walking being the work itself. This comes from interests in psychogeography; specifically how walking as a replacement of public transport can change one's perception of a city, and help investigate people's conflicts with modernity.
