Julia Milns

I am a practicing artist working with varied media, but am primarily a painter. Current themes in my work relate to natural elements relevant to local habitats and tend to resonate with contemporary attitudes to the environment.

I graduated with a fine art degree at the Kwazulu Natal University of Design and Tecnology and have exhibited widely. My work related experience includes curating,  leading art sessions or creative projects and theatre dressing.

Accumulations

We are Accumulations, a collective of four artists and curators working primarily in movement, dance and performance, who have been collaborating since the Autumn of 2014.  We arrived in each other’s company through a variety of routes and each have our own practices and aesthetic influences, but are drawn together through shared interests in performance, participation and embodied movement practices.  We are politically concerned with creating spaces for ephemeral forms of art, exchange and discussion, particularly those that embrace unpolished, uncertain and experimental processes.

We have a large network of artists, programmers, curators, academics and those who define themselves outside of these positions, who attend our events and workshops, or just keep up to date with our news and calendar.  In our time working together we have curated platforms for the showing of performance, live art and artefacts.  We work with local organisations and venues to find spaces in which to place our meetings, platforms and other activities.

Comma Press

Monday, September 26th, 2016

Comma Press is a not-for-profit publishing initiative dedicated to promoting new writing, with an emphasis on the short story. It is committed to a spirit of risk-taking and challenging publishing, free of the commercial pressures on mainstream houses. In April 2012, Comma became one of the Arts Council’s new National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs).

Something happens in good short stories that’s quite unique to them as a form; the imaginary worlds they create are coloured slightly differently to those of the novel. Their protagonists are more independent and intriguing. The realities they depict more arbitrary, accidental and amoral. Comma believes British publishing is missing out on something in its neglect of the short story, and to make up for it we are currently the most prolific hard copy publisher of short stories in the country.

‘We are living through a golden moment in the history of the short story…Eudora Welty called [her editor] William Maxwell “the headquarters”. I’m not sure where the headquarters of the current excitement lies – somewhere between McSweeney’s in America and Comma in Manchester, perhaps…’ – The Guardian.

‘It’s not too great a stretch to see Comma as the literary equivalent of Factory Records.’ –  The Herald.

Named as one of the ‘Top Six Publishers Outside of London’ – New Statesman, Oct 2012.
