Talks and Discussions - 2014

This event showcases a diverse range of artists’ approaches both to television and the archive, including new works by Kate Davis, Kathryn Elkin, Luke Fowler, Torsten Lauschmann, Stephen Sutcliffe and Alia Syed, followed by a discussion.

How can performance shape our use and understanding of public space? Who is represented through public performative events? What does publicness mean in a global community?

Who do artists think they are? What myths are they rejecting and propagating? What is the social role of artists in different countries around the world today? How do artists negotiate power? Self-belief? Recognition?

In this audio recording Lizzie Carey-Thomas, curator at Tate Britain, explores the drawings that provide a rare insight into the creative process of the artist.

How has formalist and poststucturalist thinking shaped our understanding of art and art history in the 20th century? What relevance do such ideas have today, in an age where anything goes and artists work in a ‘post-medium’ world? Audio recording.

This event at Tate Modern invites us to reconsider the everyday activity of walking as a philosophical, spiritual and creative activity, which has played a central role in the work of thinkers, artists and writers alike.
