A question of space
How is there space for artists
in our cultural landscape?
Thursday 21 May 2009
10.30am-4.30pm
at PSL [Project Space Leeds]
Whitehall Waterfront, 2 Riverside Way
Leeds LS1 4EH, UK
£10/£7.50 (including refreshments and lunch)
This symposium is part of a six month sequence of events and activities at PSL comprising the exhibitions 195 Miles (in partnership with Whitechapel Gallery) and Morphic Resonance (in partnership with theartmarket); a new series of peer critiques; plus individual performances and activities in the space at Whitehall Waterfront. This programme is an exploration of artist-led activity and the development of ‘project spaces’ nationally and internationally.
Questioning the notion of innovation and current terminology this symposium asks: do words or phrases such as ‘artist-led’ and ‘emerging’ genuinely represent new movements or are they merely a relabeling of older concepts? What space is there for the artist - physically, intellectually and socially – in the contemporary cultural landscape?
With presentations from Kerry Harker (PSL), Silver Mawson, Miles Thurlow (Workplace Gallery), Clarissa Corfe, (Castlefield Gallery), Amy Stephens and Rory Macbeth, Zoe Sawyer (theartmarket)
