Hedonism vs. Asceticism: A control freak’s guide to the MFA

A lecture by Harrison as part of the Master of Fine Art (MFA) screening programme at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow. Detailing her experience of studying on the MFA course at Glasgow School of Art from 2008 – 2010, the lecture offers an insight into how she set about organising both her time and the contents of her mind, and explores her tempestuous relationships with ‘work’ and ‘play’.
