Populism and Genre audio recordings

Tags:

  • Conference
  • Tate Britain

This conference examines the concept of populism via the issue of genre, specifically, the changed status and functioning of genres within contemporary art since the decline in the significance of traditional media – painting and sculpture – and in the context of the increasing individualism of contemporary art. Particular attention is paid to the status of genres as social forms, art’s relationship to mass media, the strategic use of genre within post-conceptual practice, and the political functioning of genres as carriers of populism.
