media' is increasingly being drawn into our national public
collections. Excellent models exist where major works are acquired or
where artists are commissioned specifically to create works for
collections. This symposium offers an opportunity to learn from
pioneering institutions that have worked with artists. Keynote speaker:
Benjamin Weil, Chief Curator of LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación
Industrial de Gijón, Spain. Other confirmed speakers include: Laura
Sillars, Programmes Director, FACT; Lisa Panting, Director, Picture
This; Lois Keidan, Director, Live Art Development Agency; Graham
