Branded: Art and the Economy is a round-table discussion featuring a
panel drawn from the visual arts and contemporary media. Speakers
include Sune Nordgren (Director of BALTIC, The Centre for Contemporary
Art in Gateshead), Michael Landy (artist) and Johnny Davis (editor, The
Face).
The discussion centres on the question: is contemporary art yet another
product that is in the process of being branded? In an age of globalised
brand-names and increasing anticapitalist protest, this lively event
explores the increasing privatisation of public art spaces and the
relationship between the commercial sphere and the world of contemporary
art.
Changing States is inIVA's unique year-long series of debates that
considers the shifts in the cultural landscape in the light of
globalisation. The series is curated by Niru Ratnam (art historian, The
Open University) and Gilane Tawadros (Director, inIVA).
