Forum/discussion sessions at Art inTent
Schedule.
Following presentations by professor Steffen Lehman and Astra Howard, there will be a short break after which Anne Graham will address issues arising from her considerable experience as an artist, and I will speak about locality and regionalism in a global context, as well as critique the function of 'art for social betterment'.
Integrated with words from Anne and I, will be round table discussions about local issues in light of the presentations.
The nature of Click Here as a project will be put in the context of related projects of urban intervention occurring around the world in what is becoming a mainstream genre of practice.
The purpose of the discussions is to share our perceptions about the current character of contemporary art and to envision its future in the local context. From this we will move towards some proposals and strategies for the next steps forward in Gosford.
Some recurring topics have emerged from recent conversations with local artists, and we will endeavour to address these as well as issues arising on the day.
Local opportunities for strengthening art milieu (resources and impediments)
Communication and coordination
Locus focus
Financial support
