The symposium will take the collaborative working practice of Tim Rollins and K.O.S and his statement about group motivation as a point of departure to explore ideas about art and pedagogy;
• How do you balance the learning agenda with quality art production and process?
• What are the ethics of the social encounter in socially engaged art practice?
• Within the collective production context how is authorship negotiated? (Is it relevant?)
• What role does inspiration and shared belief play in a learning environment?
• Can models of collaborative production and learning thrive in mainstream education systems?
The symposium will be chaired by Susan T Grant an artist and independent arts manager who specialises in collaborative artworks in the public realm. Symposium contributors include Declan McGonagle Director of the National College of Art and Design Dublin, Marsha Bradfield from Critical Practice, Katie Bruce Producer/Curator at the Gallery of Modern Art Glasgow and Associate Artist Rachel Mimiec, Professor Neil Mulholland and Dan Brown on Shift/Work, John Reardon and Johannes Maier of ArtSchool/UK; Rachel Thibbotumunuwe, Hilary Nicol and Johnny Gailey Artworks Scotland & Talbot Rice Gallery partnership.
