Tim Marlow on The Value of Art A #BeACritic event, part of a wider campaign to encourage more critical discussion of the arts

16 May 2015 at 12.00–13.30
Tim Marlow speaking at #BeACritic at Tate Liverpool

Why does art matter?  What does it tell us about ourselves and the culture in which it was/is created? How do we assess the importance of art? Promising no definitive answers, Sony Award-winning broadcaster, writer and art historian Tim Marlow will attempt to wrestle with these colossal questions, and discuss some of the art projects that have shaped his illustrious career. Tim will also be joined by Tate Liverpool's Artistic Director Francesco Mancorda for a Q&A.

This is a free event but booking is essential.

Tim Marlow on The Value of Art is a #BeACritic event, commissioned by Liverpool John Moores University’s School of Art and Design, Arts Council England and The Double Negative Magazine, this special lecture is part of a wider campaign encouraging more critical discussion of the arts.
