Conference: Material Futures: Matter, Memory and Loss in Contemporary Art Production and Preservation 28th – 30th June 2017 at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow, UK
Contemporary artistic practices have prompted a reconsideration of boundaries between the roles of artists and institutional staff, and between processes of art production, exhibition, and preservation. This two-day conference will provide a forum for professionals, researchers, and students working across different disciplines to discuss urgent questions regarding artwork identity, permanence and impermanence, reproducibility and replication, and the role of the artist and the institution in constructing and maintaining memory. It will explore these questions and other areas where artistic practice, curatorial practice, and conservation decision-making intersect through themes of materiality, memory and loss. Programme: Two and a half days of paper presentations and panels examining the conference theme. The conference will be in English.
