Discursive Art Practice in the Wake of APG
<p>Monday 8 October 2012, 6.30pm</p> <p>APG emerged at a time, the turn of the 1970s, when speech (or more loosely, discourse) was starting to be recognized as an art medium in its own right. Since then, dialogic exchange in/as art has only increased in prominence, to the point of becoming a fixture in contemporary art spaces. This session will look at APG’s pioneering use of the roundtable discussion, and assess its relevance to contemporary discursive art practices.</p> <p>In the spirit of APG’s <em>Sculpture</em> – the table at which APG members spoke with industrialists and politicians from 1971 onwards – Raven Row is programming a series of public discussions over the course of the exhibition, of which this is the second.</p> <p>This event was part of the exhibition:<br /> <em>The Individual and the Organisation: Artist Placement Group 1966-79</em><br /> 27 September to 16 December 2012</p>
