Artcards will launch “Artist Conversations” with an artist and curator roundtable discussion and performances. A select panel of artists and curators will examine today’s role of the internet as a tool for independent curators and artist-run collectives and the changing role of the gallery in an increasingly internet-dependent society. Benefits and challenges of the internet’s increasing role in the art community will also be discussed. The evening will launch with a pyrotechnic performance by Jesse Boardman Kauppila, followed by a short remixed/remediated/re-imagined homage to Dan Graham live act by G. Douglas Barrett. The panel discussion will be followed by a performance by sound artist Aki Onda presenting his analog soundscapes of exotic memories and field recordings.
Artcards is a digital publication that believes in the importance of seeing art in person. If you want to take control of what you see, experience the richness of art in person, or be part of an artistic community, then Artcards can help you get there. To do this, Artcards lists all art events and makes it easy to create your own list and personalized map. In addition editor’s picks and reviews introduce you to the latest in contemporary art. Since our inception in 2005, we have listed over 25,000 art shows in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London. Sign up for free weekly art updates at www.artcards.cc
