Olivia Plender: Rise Early, Be Industrious, interview with Susan Triesman, Chris Crickmay & David Harding

The Open University collaborated with the artist Olivia Plender in her solo show at Milton Keynes Gallery, providing archived TV programmes from the Art and Environment course, first presented in the late 1970s. These were shown on television screens as part of Plender’s installation in the Long Gallery which explores the use of television as an educational resource. Over the course of 2012 the exhibition travelled to the Arnolfini Gallery Bristol and the Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow.
