Fallout 



 

For full-day symposium of politics and performance

 

When: Wednesday, 22 November 2006 

 

Time: 9.30am-5.30pm (registrations from 9.00 am)

 

Location: Room 327 Webster Building, University of NSW (Kensington
Campus)

 

Cost: Free (tea and coffee included)

 

This symposium aims to interrogate the fallout of war through an
analysis of practices developed in response to conflict. In a global
context of renewed political violence and the rise of neo-conservative
politics, artists in Australia and elsewhere have been forced to refocus
their energies to consider the impacts and ethics of art made in an
international context of war. 

 

The discussion in the symposium is intended to produce an analysis of a
diverse range of performance works in which the response to political
events is directly broached or even structurally implicated in the work
itself. We ask whether this is efficacious or what if any ethical
functions can performance play in the contemporary political moment?

 

The Symposium will include a live cross to Manchester University's In
Place of War Program.

 

The event will be followed by the launch of The Ends of the 60s:
Performance, Media and Contemporary Culture.
