The symposium will bring together a range of international organisations to discuss current trends and approaches towards commissioning in Europe and beyond. The event also seeks to contextualise the approaches of the Irish Local Authority to the commissioning of public art within this greater framework.
Current critical art journals will also have a focus at this symposium due to their role in providing a context, an audience and a legacy for the work produced here.
The event will take place over two days at a small seaside hotel in Donabate, Co. Dublin and is proximate to the sites of some prominent works commissioned by Fingal County Council.
Site visits with commissioned artists will be organised along with a special screening of Brian Duggan’s The Measure and the launch of Christine Mackey’s A Year in the Field.
Speakers include:
- Simon Maidment, Satellite Art Projects, Melbourne,Australia
- Cecile Bourne, Nouveaux Commanditares, New Patrons, Paris, France
