Art Movements in the City
Thurs 13 Oct 7pm Mackintosh Lecture Theatre

2011 HAS BEEN CALLED ‘THE YEAR OF PROTEST’
As mass movements in the Arab world challenge oppressive governments, students occupy campuses and massed groups of youths burn English cities, now is a good time to consider how collective action is taken, and channelled to positive effect.

What role can artists play?
What role have they played in the past?

As part of the Document 9 International Film Festival, this talk brings together four speakers from the world of art, architecture and design to discuss what constitutes an Art Movement, and what lessons can we draw from Glasgow’s radical traditions in deciding how to act?

Speakers
Ray McKenzie : Glasgow Painting in the 1980s: a New Image Adrift in the Empire of Signs’
Sarah Lowndes : Not Not while the Giro: The Glasgow Arts Scene and The Aesthetics of Necessity’
Mitch Miller & Johnny Rodger : James Kelman and the search for an art of commitment

Presented in collaboration with Doc 9 and the drouth
