The Producers Part II: New Perspectives on Curating is funded by Newcastle University, devised by Uta Kögelsberger (Newcastle University) and Chris McCormack (Art Monthly), with the generous support and input of staff at the Hatton Galley, the School of Arts and Cultures, Newcastle University and Art Monthly.
Part II: New Perspectives on Curating brings together curators, writers and artists to examine how curatorial practices have responded to significant changes in the art world. The talks will address issues such as, the fallout of an increasingly globalised art world; the growing significance of the role of collectors; the reshaping of public sector art economies and the ways in which the development of new technologies has redefined how artworks are made, understood and disseminated.
The Producers series of talks will resume in the Autumn, on the October 9th, with Lisa Le Feuvre and James Lingwood.
