ABOUT THE EVENTS
GLOBAL AND LOCAL: THE CONDITION OF ART PRACTICE NOW
Friday 2 February and Saturday 3 February
This two-day conference at Tate Modern looks at the conditions that
globalisation creates for contemporary art practice. It brings together
artists, critics, curators and theorists to discuss questions concerning the
global city as a site for new art practice, the global/local nature of art
institutions and contemporary curatorial practice, and the ways in which
global perspectives affect perceptions of modern art and modernity. Speakers
include Oladélé Ajiboyé Bamgboyé, Ute Meta Bauer, Ian Findlay Brown, Dan
Cameron, Annie Coombes, Donna De Salvo, Hou Hanru, David Harvey, Paul Hirst,
Geeta Kapur, Lucy Lippard, Cuauhtémoc Medina, Steve Ouditt and Gilane
Tawadros.
A collaboration with Wimbledon School of Arts.
BOMBAY: CITY POLITICS AND VISUAL CULTURE
Sunday 4 February
BOMBAY/MUMBAI 1992-2001, featuring contemporary art and culture from Bombay,
is a major part of CENTURY CITY. One of the exhibition's main aims is to
explore how the politics of Bombay have shaped the city's visual culture.
This panel, which includes several participants from the exhibition, will
look at how the conditions for cultural representation changed in the 1990s,
connecting this to the economic and religious dimensions of Bombay's
political context.
Participants include the film theorist, Ashish Rajadhyaksha, urbanist
Anirudh Paul, activist-filmmaker, Anand Patwardhan, artist Nalini Malani and
artist Navjot Altaf.

BACKGROUND
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/programmes/webcasting.htm
Tate Modern is operating a pilot programme of webcasting. Webcasting is the
term used to describe the real-time delivery of moving images, moving text
and sound, over the internet. Webcasting software allows internet audiences
to listen or watch types of media, which have, up until now, been considered
too large and bulky for consumption over the internet.
Webcasting is operating in a pilot phase at Tate Modern within the
Interpretation & Education department. In this pilot phase, aspects of
Tate's Public Programme will be webcast live to internet audiences, and
events will be documented and presented on Tate's website for audiences to
view afterward. Education and interpretation materials will be developed for
the internet, and online discussion forums will be introduced.
FEEDBACK
As these webcasts are part of a pilot process, qualitative feedback that
will help shape the character of live webcasts from Tate Modern in the
future, is always appreciated.
