Healthcare, art & citizenship
SKOR organizes a two-day symposium on care, art, architecture & citizenship, called “Speculations on the Cultural Organisation of Civility” on October 29-30, 2010 in Amsterdam, Felix Meritis.
“The two-day symposium Speculations on the Cultural Organisation of Civility seeks to connect current debates about care and citizenship in contemporary art, philosophy and politics to realities of healthcare organisation in the Netherlands and internationally. With a focus on healthcare as a prime site of global market-driven transformation in governmental policies, this symposium brings together philosophers, artists, curators and politicians to question the role of art and its assumed ameliorative function.
We ask: If art consensualises the increasingly capitalised infrastructures of public care, can it still act as a critical agent?
The structure of this symposium stages theories and case studies to come hand in hand, providing a significant and radical overview of the field.”

Conference “Art on the Street”
We received this info via email (no website announced):
“Art on the Street”
International Conference held by the Korean Society of Art Theories
Date: Saturday, 23 October, 2010
Location: Kookmin University, Seoul, KOREA
Contact: artntheory@gmail.com
“The conference “Art on the Street” will interrogate the ways in which
the process of creation, perception, and reception of the artwork
relates to the formation of a community. We set out to investigate
specific examples of contemporary art practices in glocal contexts. We
seek to explore artistic practices that resist and/or negotiate in
terms of everyday life, localization, globalization, and social and
cultural structures. We propose art as potential means of collective
empowerment and investigate art practices that help form a community.”
