Universal Studios: Tracking the Art School in a Globalized World
School of Visual Arts
Tuesday, 30th October 2007
The BFA Fine Arts and Art History Departments present Universal Studios: Tracking the Art School in a Globalized World, a panel discussion examining the practice of visual art today.
From starving artist to artist-as-entrepreneur, from artist-researcher to artist-as-activist, the persona of the artist operates in multiple guises. As artists gain currency within frenzied global art markets and international art fairs, how are art schools being affected by recent patterns of cultural consensus?
From million-dollar kitsch to sensorial spectacle, from tell-all biographies to video feats of endurance, have the visual arts become just another contributor to the entertainment industry? How can a critical appreciation of art be addressed now? Distinguished educators, critics and artists will explore different perspectives within the field.
