hi all
check out the very enticing lineup for this conference: Jon Winet, 
Natalie Jeremijenko, Bruce Mau, Francesco Bonami, Anne Pasternak, Peter 
Sellers, Lawrence Weschler, etc.
Nice to see new media and fine art curators mixing it up.
As usual, reports from whomever gets to go to Chicago are most welcome 
here.

Symposium C6 - The Art World Is Flat: Globalism - crisis and opportunity
April 26-28, 2007. Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Millenium Park, Chicago.
runs concurrent with Art Chicago and Artropolis April 27-30, 2007

Globalism is radically transforming our world, creating new political 
instabilities, economic interdependencies, ecological stresses and 
cultural hybrids. The negative results of globalism have been widely 
discussed: the loss of cultural and ecological diversity; the 
consolidation of economic and media power; the rise of violent 
reactionary and fundamentalist movements.

But there are concurrent trends that suggest hope for a more positive 
future. These include a growing awareness of the interconnectedness of 
human destiny regardless of religious, geographic or political 
differences; the uses of technology to heighten and accelerate social 
networks and actions; the realization of the urgency of addressing 
pressing, common, environmental, economic and political crises.

For the arts, the crisis of globalism is also an opportunity to 
interact meaningfully with visionaries in business, politics, science, 
and other arenas

The arts, always a harbinger of change, are likewise experiencing an 
unprecedented surge of new aesthetic forms, cross-disciplinary 
partnerships, distribution networks, market forces and inter-cultural 
exchanges. For the arts, the crisis of globalism is also an opportunity 
to interact meaningfully with visionaries in business, politics, 
science, and other arenas, and to play a powerful new role in the 
transformation of our shared reality and emerging future.

This conference will bring together an international group of 
innovative and socially engaged artists, writers, scientists, 
technologists, curators, theorists, patrons, entrepreneurs, designers, 
and collectors, among others. It will focus on how the forces of 
globalism are challenging traditional hierarchies, redistributing 
capital, creating powerful new collaborative models, and generating new 
kinds of hybrid cultural practice.

Conference participants will discuss questions relating to current 
trends, emerging paradigms, and possible cultural futures in three 
interrelated thematic areas:

New Capital(s)
Hegemony and Resistance in the Global Cultural Economy
How do shifts in wealth encourage or limit cultural visibility and 
diversity? Will new cultural centers emerge, offering new 
possibilities? What are the new models of interventionist cultural 
practice? Why are new patrons creating alternative structures and 
processes for cultural experiences?

No Borders Here?
Cultural Hybrids, Nomads, Refugees
What economic, political and cultural imperatives drive the new 
nomadism? How is technology erasing traditional hierarchies and 
boundaries of cultural production, distribution and interpretation? How 
is the restless peripatetic creative class producing new dislocations, 
networks and communities?

Green World
Art for a Sustainable Ecological Consciousness
What new solutions to the ecological crisis are emerging from 
collaborations between science, culture and technology? How are green 
artists, designers and architects using developments in science, 
genetics and technology? What role does culture play on the brink of 
environmental catastrophe?

A wide ranging and provocative discussion, the conference will raise 
new questions, generate lively debate and offer possible answers to how 
we can anticipate and respond to the challenges and opportunities 
resulting from the fact that for now, and for the foreseeable future, 
“the art world is flat.”
