TDC Seminar: Marc Garrett
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2013, 14:00 - 15:00
Venue: Institute of Creative Technologies
Marc Garrett will give a presentation about Furtherfield and the arts collective's dedication in collaborating with, writing about, and being part of a networked art culture that he acknowledges as the real contemporary art happening out there. It is part of wider shift in art culture that has thrived independently at the edges of the traditional and mainstream art world's branded franchises. Garrett agrees with Hans-Christoph Steiner that we "must allow all human creativity to be as free as free software". And will give evidence of an expanding and dynamic contemporary art practice that reflects this idea in various forms, showing an extraordinary shift in art consciousness that is forging other ways of seeing, being and thinking. Furtherfield has been involved with many artists working in art, technology and social change for over 17 years, on-line and in physical space. This presentation focuses on reflecting on and presenting selected art works and projects shown at their gallery in the park, in Finsbury Park London, over the last couple of years.
