Projection/Expulsion: Strategies of Beholding Symposium
Saturday 14 March 2015, 09.30 - 18.00
Lecture Theatre, Chelsea College of Arts, London, SW1P4JU
Speakers: Professor Jane Collins, Professor Catherine Elwes, Professor James Hamilton, Professor Laura U Marks, Dr Hillel Schwartz, Professor David Toop
Chairs: Aura Satz, Dr Ken Wilder
The symposium and accompanying exhibition aims to bring a new critical awareness to the way in which beholding is also a ‘being-held’. It will consider moving image installation and sound works where the embodied beholder is already prescribed as an implicit presence, anticipated by the work.
Contrary to the uncritical immersive tendencies of film and surround sound technologies, the event will highlight new approaches to spectatorship: modes of engagement whereby a tension is realised between projecting onto the artwork and experiencing a sense of expulsion, exclusion or even repulsion. It will address the role of technology and/or configurational properties in structuring this projective/expulsive relation.
The symposium will be followed by drinks in the related Projection/Expulsion exhibition.
The event is free and open to all but booking is recommended. More info and booking: http://events.arts.ac.uk/event/2015/3/14/Projection-Expulsion-Strategies-of-Beholding/
Projection/Expulsion is presented by CCW Graduate School and the Spaces and Narrations research group at Chelsea College of Arts.
