What's Wrong With Art? Panel Discussion
From the live panel discussion on Tuesday, October 27th!
When we talk about what’s wrong with art, we’re talking about what’s wrong with our society at-large. The issues of race, identity, housing insecurity, job insecurity in a digital age, nationalism, xenophobia, inclusion/exclusion and many others are all coming to a boil now as the heat has been turned up by an invisible contagion that has exposed burns we thought had been healing. What’s wrong with art is a problem of institutionalisation, of a scaffolding that’s been built on a shaky foundation, of a kind of monolithic gate-keeper that can be exclusionary and elitist, and of a dusty, colonial art history narrative that has lionised white European creativity and diminished anything Other.
Panellists:
Rebecca Hui, Founder, Roots Studio
Damien Davis, Artist
Joel Bergner, Founder, Artolution
Ryan Stanier, Founder, The Other Art Fair
