Concept Store #3 aims to critically explore some of the paradoxes of the art world's interest in working with activists and other politically engaged practitioners. As well as reflecting on the artist/activist season at Arnolfini, it will look to examine the wider contemporary relationship between art and politics. Some of the critical questions include: what are the power relations between art, activists and cultural institutions? Who ultimately benefits from these relationships? What critical role can art and/or activism really have in a situation where any form of critique is automatically recuperated and neutralised by the mainstream? Under such conditions, what are effective strategies of opposition? And above all - What is to be done (with art)? http://www.arnolfini.org.uk/pages/publications/journal _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
