Event details:
Clegg & Guttmann will discuss their exhibition and the process of creating the new work Manchester 1911, which was made by bringing a number of academics, from various institutions in Manchester, together in the context of a colloquim.
Dave Beech has written recently about independent art’s need for it won institutions, identifying an unhelpful aversion to ‘institutions’ within contemporary art’s accepted ideas.In place of this he argues that ” we do not need to avoid institutionalisation, we need fuller, wider and more diverse forms of institutionalisation” *
This talk will explore, through Clegg & Guttmann’s work and Beech’s research, the positive potential of art’s institutions, including the institutionalisation of art.
Dave Beech is an artist, writer, curator and lecturer.
