Artists today have moved beyond the painted or sculpted object and the traditional 'white cube' exhibition space in their quest for new subjects, media, situations and art-making experiences. Share in some of these diverse artistic adventures with Curator, Cultural Theorist and Jury Member of the 56th Venice Biennale, Ranjit Hoskote as he holds a magnifying lens to hybrid and experimental art practices that are defining a new mainstream. Ranjit will discuss the idea of the artist as contributor and collaborator and look at interdisciplinary art practices and alternative studio concepts, through a curated audio-visual walkthrough of the work of a number of key global artists. This presentation will bring alive the artists' reinvention of the art-making process, their social and political engagements, and their commitment to interweaving ethics, technological innovation and the sense of an evolving community in their work.
