The last decade has seen a rise in interdisciplinary events across the arts sector.
This half-day conference examines the motivations of artists, producers and institutions to work in these contexts, and asks where is this interdisciplinary practice headed? What impact has the rise of this work had on artists and musicians choosing to take on the role of creative producer? How is this work received, understood and experienced by audiences?
Featuring leading artists and producers, including Michael Morris (Artangel), Victoria Walsh (RCA), Mercury Music Prize nominee Sam Lee, Jem Finer and Matthew Herbert.
