Untitled (Labour). Contemporary Art and Immaterial Production

17.03.2011/ 10:00 m.
Tate Britain Clore Auditorium. London, England
Symposium (Skype)
Organized by Tate Britain: Jo Bradshaw and Nora Razian

This half-day symposium invites audience members to engage with international artists and academics to investigate current conditions of artistic production in relation to new forms of labour in the emerging global economy. Presenting various perspectives on immaterial labour and its relationship to contemporary art, speakers will address questions around the impact of immaterial production on new aesthetic forms and uses of art, how artists both embody and contest the precarious working conditions of immaterial labour, and art’s potential to serve as immanent critique of capitalism.
