THE ART OF WITH 2: ARTISTS AND CURATORS
Wed 25 November 13:00
Part of  The Art of With

The second seminar in our exploration of The Art of With will focus on artists and curators, with talks, breakout discussion sessions and the opportunity for artists and curators to showcase their work.

Keynote speakers include

• New York-based curator Michael Connor. Michael Connor will explore why the many-to-many logic of the Web has not yet transformed contemporary art in the way that it has revolutionized other sectors of the culture industry. The talk will cover the role of user-created content and participation in contemporary art, bringing together a wide range of historical and contemporary examples. Micahel Connor’s talk will be based on A Manual for the 21st Century Gatekeeper, his essay commissioned by Cornerhouse for The Art of With project. You can read and comment on his essay   on writetoreply.

• Rotterdam-based artists Bik Van Der Pol. Bik Van Der Pol will talk about artistic practices in relation to The Art of With, including their work on Nomads and Residents, a project which creates a collaborative platform for presentations by artists, critics, curators, architects and others (www.nomadsresidents.org)
