Tate Triennial 2006

Appropriation is a common technique and is employed by many of the artists featured in Tate Triennial 2006. Although appropriation and the juxtaposition of images and facts is a recurring theme in recent art, the Triennial identifies a significant reinvigoration of the practice.

This symposium seeks to probe and debate the exhibition’s claims about the current state of appropriation by bringing together artists, academics and critics to address the themes of archive, re-enactment and memory. The speakers include Beatrix Ruf, Sturtevant, TJ Demos, Ken Russell, Amelia Jones, Jan Verwoert, Marc Camille Chaimowicz and Olivia Plender.
