INDUSTRY AND THE ARTS MUST WALK HAND IN HAND
30 July 2009
Part 1: The limits of 'The Art of Governance' - an open discussion with Howard Slater and Anthony Davies.
The first of two events looking at the history and legacy of the Artist Placement Group, the artist initiative founded by Barbara Steveni with John Latham, Jeffrey Shaw and Barry Flanagan in 1966. Participants will be invited to join a discussion with writers Howard Slater and Anthony Davies, taking as a starting point Slater's essay 'The Art of Governance', a critical look at APG's aims and working methods.
The evening will begin with a screening of footage from Steveni's ongoing project 'I AM AN ARCHIVE'.
The full version of Slater's essay can be found here.
* from The Ballad of Peckham Rye, Muriel Spark (1960)
