CRITICAL DEBATE
BEYOND IDENTITY: NEW DIRECTIONS IN VISUAL CULTURE
ELEVEN CONVERSATIONS
Sundays 15.00 - 16.30, 24 October 2004 - 24 April 2005
Seminar Room 1 * This debate in the form of eleven conversations takes place
on Sunday afternoons, from October 2004 to April 2005. The conversations
bring together a group of artists from a wide variety of backgrounds, from
African and Caribbean to Asian and Jewish, with cultural historians, critics
and fellow artists. No longer involved primarily with issues of identity,
these artists and others like them now represent one of the most dynamic
manifestations of contemporary British visual culture.
Using processes ranging from painting and printmaking to photography,
sculpture, video and film, they have engaged with the art histories
presented through the collections of our national museums. Implicitly their
work questions a particular history of collecting, commemoration and
cultural visibility.
The series has been organised by Rosie Miles, Curator, Word & Image, V&A,
with advice and assistance from Pauline de Souza, University of East London.
*from October- December 2004 this will be above the Lecture Theatre. From
January- April 2005 this may move to level 6 Henry Cole Wing. You will be
given directions on the day.
