Program Description

The symposium is an invitation to learn from artists, curators & creative practitioners who reflexively engage relationships between institutions, artists, & publics as a form of artistic practice. Drawing on the work of artist Carmen Papalia & his proposal to consider accessibility as a temporary & relational practice, this 3-day symposium asks how the triangulated relationships between artists, audiences & institutions might be re-thought as a ‘living agreement.' The Living Agreement symposium will feature presentations, panel discussions, workshops & active engagement with a range of artistic practices & artists.
