Symposium with Artur Zmijewski

Art: What is the Use?

Friday January 14, 2011, 11 am to 6 pm

Venue:

Whitechapel Gallery

77-82 Whitechapel High Street, London

How subversive is the social uselessness of art? How could art play a more directly functional role in culture? Dean Kenning and Gavin Grindon challenge the idea that art should be allowed to take critical positions safe from any real intervention. Participants include Gail Day, James Marriot & Jane Trowell (PLATFORM) Peter Osborne, John Roberts, Dmitry Vilensky (Chto Delat), Marina Vishmidt, Stephen Wright and Artur Żmijewski.

Artur Żmijewski will speak about "How We Can Really Use Art; and Problems Which We Have With It".
