reVision symposium 2021
Sessions online now
National artists, writers and curators came together online to discuss contemporary arts practice; now and for the future.
An illuminating day of three speaker sessions was punctuated with synchronised activities designed to enhance online viewing while engaging in meaningful conversations around critical optimism, collective action and building a healthy arts sector.
Session 1: ambition and momentum
Three artists discuss how they feed ambition and continue momentum despite changing parameters. Many artists have experienced in-person exhibitions move online, project dates move and opportunities dissolve. Join three artists as they discuss their responses, particularly with the presentation of solo exhibitions, and motivations during this time. Curator Hannah Presley guides the conversation.
Speakers: Honor Freeman (SA), Maree Clarke (VIC), Salote Tawale (NSW).
Chair: Hannah Presley (VIC)
Session 2: growing and sustaining community and collaboration
Growing and sustaining community and collaboration during the time of a pandemic has been difficult for many, but adversity has fostered opportunities for some to expand and reconnect in ways unimagined until now. Experienced in independent arts practice, festival management and the shared studio model, Amber Cronin leads a discussion around building connection and community.
Speakers: Sim Luttin (VIC), James Tylor (ACT), Clare Needham (VIC).
Chair: Amber Cronin (SA)
Session 3: utopian future
Andy Butler shapes a conversation questioning traditional modes of engagement and delivery in the arts and investigates the ambitions and ideals of the sector.
Three artists, wearing multiple hats such as festival CEO, mentor and collaborator discuss their experiences and aspirations for a critically positive, sustainable industry.
Speakers: Jamie Lewis (VIC), Catherine Truman (SA), Joel Spring (NSW).
Chair: Andy Butler (VIC)
