Using Images of War. A conversation
Art & Compromise VII investigates questions raised by Beaconsfield's recent exhibition 'Gaming in Waziristan: What now does it take to confer artistic status on an image of war? At what point does documentary evidence become 'art'?'. Julian Stallabrass, Reader at the Courtauld Institute will address such issues in conversation with international human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith. Art & Compromise is a series of lectures conceived by Beaconsfield in collaboration with City & Guilds of London Art School to address the various forms and occasions when compromise might enter into art-practice. This event is free but booking is essential (image: Noor Behram, 2010.05.21 Fatima Picture, Gaming in Waziristan, Beaconsfield, July 2011 Image courtesy the artist).
