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.”
Exploring Common Space
“A festival in a Must Go Zone. The Brussels Festival Kanal projects are artistically diverse and explore cultural, social, political and historical issues, but they have one thing in common: they literally get the public moving. As Brussels edges its way westwards, the various districts around the canal are gradually being incorporated into the city centre. Some changes are already under way, others are on their way: streets are being revamped, development plans drawn up and new projects given the green light. At the same time the gap is widening between rich and poor, between those with a qualification or a job and those without.Yet because of its mix of different nationalities, languages, smells, colours and vibrant young population, this is Brussels at its best – a powerful mélange with an unseen reserve of energy, creativity and joie de vivre. Unfortunately, these communities don’t always have the opportunities they deserve. Unfortunately, a none too rosy picture of this part of Brussels is often conveyed to the outside world.” Source, Full programme and more info
