Pre-Festival Event

What is visual arts practice in 2011? Where do visual artists, writers and performers intersect? What are the implications for contemporary curators? Do you really expect to be paid for making art?

Professional artists, curators, performers, writers, playwrights and creative directors come together to discuss these questions and other dilemmas over four sessions — inspiring combinations of presentations, panels and audience discussions. Presenters include: Domenico de Clario, Jude Anderson, Jill Orr, Jason Smith, Samantha Comte, Damian Kelly, Martin King, Rhyll Plant, Catherine Ryan, Terry Jaensch … and others.
