The Great Meadows Foundation is pleased to present a new statewide symposium series dedicated to advancing critical discourse around contemporary art. Each year, symposia will take place in Louisville, Northern Kentucky, Central Kentucky, and Western Kentucky, with each region developing a unique program around a shared theme.
All events are free and open to the public.
GMF Symposium Western Kentucky Region | Panel Discussion Theme: Altered States: Making (it) Work
Altered States: Making (it) Work discusses modes of practice, participation, and visibility for the makers, curators, institutions, and viewers who make up the current art world. Able to be defined in varied ways and with different perspectives – "it" can be viewed through the artwork itself, throughout careers and opportunities both within and outside formal institutions, and in connection to audience and impact. Our panel will consider what artistic paths, careers, and production might include (or not include), ask, look like, and need, within shifting contemporary regional, national, and international conversations.
