Upwards and Onwards...whether you like it or not 1970 © The artist |
To coincide with the exhibition Pop Life: Art in a Material World, this symposium explores artists' relationships to the market from the 1970s to the present by focusing on mail and ephemeral art outside the market, and in collections and exhibitions today.
Given the present financial crisis, strategies of insertion and the circulation of art are reassessed by artists, curators, archivists and academics. With special guest Felipe Ehrenberg.
Supported by the Knowledge Transfer Fund, University Gallery and Department of Art History and Theory at the University of
