Posted by Clare in: Events | Add a commentSaturday 7 April 2007, 14.00–20.00
This symposium focuses on the growing complexity of the art business and its relationship to globalisation. At a time when huge lifestyle changes are taking place, how is the art community responding? Can artists retain a critical perspective on global issues? The symposium includes lively debate and open dialogue with invited speakers, including John Jordan, founder of the Reclaim the Streets movement, Tim Kindberg, Senior Researcher at HP Labs and Jemima Rellie, Head of Digital Programmes at Tate.
