Art, Criticism and the Forces of Globalisation The Artist as Critic/The Critic as Artist

This conference, organised jointly by Winchester School of Art, Tate Liverpool and the Archives of Art Criticism at the University of Rennes, seeks to investigate the historical and contemporary relationship of art production and critical writing in the era of globalisation.

This event will take place on the eve the opening of the Liverpool Biennial, which is focused on the global theme of The Unexpected Guest. The Biennial’s focus on hospitality and migrations are key to the forces of globalisation, and critical to this conference. Issues of art criticism and art practice will also be explored in this day event.
