Intersections: Social Issues in Contemporary Art
Thursday May 13th 2010 at 7pm
477 West 16th street at 10th Ave

The twentieth century has witnessed a succession of events that have transformed the way we think about humanity. But in what way have artists, curators and cultural institutions responded to these events? How have artists approached some of these pressing social issues and in what ways have they turned a mirror onto society and become its conscience? This panel will focus on and address these questions and the synergy necessary to create social change through the arts.

Framing Art in the 21st Century

Panel Discussion: Volta Art Fair
March 7, 3pm

As the music and publishing industries are struggling with the question of distribution as discs move to downloads and magazines and books morph into .coms and tablets, how might these alternate forms impinge on the viewing and consumption of art? Taking this in tandem with the changed economic landscape, how do we envision that art will be disseminated/sold/ exhibited in the coming decades? How will arts organization be challenged to find alternative, less conventional ways to show art to reach new publics?
