Part of British Art Week
There have been radical changes in professional art training since the 1970s in
Britain
. For some this has meant the decline of good practice and for others a much needed revision. But how significant is the institutionalisation
of ‘artists’? As art education shifts to incorporate new ideas of creativity, business opportunities, career management skills
and ideas about entrepreneurship, how do we begin to define the role of the contemporary artist and educator? What is the
current relationship between the ‘artist’ and the ‘academy’?
For British Art Week, this afternoon symposium invites Jon Thompson, Mark Wallinger, Richard Wentworth, Kasper Koeing, Jean Christophe Amman, Phyllida Barlow, Suchan Kinoshita and Isabella Graw, all leading artists, curators, critics, editors and historians in the contemporary field, to discuss these issues.
