Asia Art Archive Presents Backroom Conversations for ART HK 10
Four panel discussions and screenings assembling leading experts
and art practitioners, offering a first-hand look into today’s world of contemporary art…
Thurs
27th May | 6–8 pm | Containers of the Present: Institutional Collections and the History of Japanese Contemporary Art
| Speakers: Shinji Kohmoto, Chief Curator, National
Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto | Yuko Hasegawa, Chief Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo | Yukie Kamiya, Chief
Curator, Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary
Art | Barbara London, Associate Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art, Museum of Modern Art, New York |
Alexandra Munroe, Senior Curator of Asian Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York | Moderated by Andrew Maerkle, critic
& writer, Tokyo
This panel will address the roles that Japanese and international
institutional collections play in developing the history of Japanese post-war and contemporary art. The panel will address
their collection maintenance and development, despite severe budget cuts initiated in the post-bubble era of the 1990’s;
their role as counterweights to market-driven value systems; and possible relevance to rapidly emerging art infrastructures
elsewhere in East Asia.
Fri 28th May | 3.30–5.30 pm | Private Endowments in Contemporary Art | Speakers:
Dr. Gene Sherman, Chairman and Executive Director, Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, Sydney | Yana Peel, Co-founder and
Director, Outset Contemporary Art Fund,
London | Daniela Zyman, Chief Curator, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna | Agnes Lin, Founder and Director, Osage
Art Foundation, Hong Kong | Moderated by Savita Apte, art historian and Director of Art Dubai
The growth of private
art foundations around the world in the last two decades reflects the pressing need for resources in support of the arts.
This panel asks prestigious art foundations to discuss their development in relation to contemporary art, social responsibility,
recent economic challenges and their influence on artistic practice and the art market.
Sat 29th May | 2–4
pm | Artist as Activist, Art as Catalyst* | Speakers: Martha Rosler, artist | Zanny Begg,
artist | Wong Hoy Cheong, artist | Choi Tsz-kwan, Ger, artist | Moderated by Manray Hsu, independent curator and art
critic
In response to contemporary social and political conditions, artists and activists have developed
new tools for thought and new strategies of resistance aimed at making other worlds possible. This panel invites artists to
discuss questions such as: What is the political in political art? What can art do to make another world? What is the role
of the exhibition, especially of projects that were made in an activist context, and what role does communication and networking
play in art-making?
*A series of screenings will be held in conjunction with this
panel at the same venue (Sat 10.45am & Sun 2pm.)
4.15 – 6.15 pm | In the Aftermath of the White
Cube: Museums and Other Spaces | Speakers: Sabine Breitwieser, Secretary and Treasurer of International Committee of
ICOM for Museums and Collections of Modern Art | Eungie Joo, Keith
Haring Director and Curator of Education and Public Programs, New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York | Bec Dean, Associate Director, Performance Space,
Sydney | Michael Rush, curator, writer,
critic and Former Director, Rose Art Museum,
Brandeis University, Boston | Moderated by Adele Tan, art historian, teacher and writer
No longer willing to be
pristine, disinterested and ultimately sterile white cubes, museums and alternative art spaces today are pressed to continually
assert their vitality and relevance and trade in banalities for accessibility. Competition with the international art biennales
and art fairs forces museums to define their own missions in the expanded art ecosystem. How is today’s art museum re-imagining
its ethics and politics? What is the function of the art museum in the 21st century? Who is its audience?

MASTER OF PUBLIC ART STUDIES PROGRAM: ART/CURATORIAL PRACTICES IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE
The Master of Public
Art Studies Program: Art/Curatorial Practices in the Public Sphere at the University of Southern California Roski School of
Fine Arts in Los Angeles is a unique platform to research art, curatorial practices, and modes of cultural organizing in relation
to the material/social conditions of public space, and the contemporary public sphere. The graduate program’s 2-year
interdisciplinary course of study encompasses seminars on curatorial practice/organizational methods; social, urban and media
theory; critical writing; exhibition histories; and selected topics in art and architectural history. Students examine how
artists, curators, organizers, architects and other cultural producers engage the complexities of public space, while also
investigating the theoretical and pragmatic conditions of the public sphere. The program features a curatorial practicum that
functions as a laboratory for students to collaborate on the development and organization of a n exhibition project that explores
city-space. Students are also responsible for the research and writing of a thesis that develops innovative concepts and new
scholarship on art, public space, and the public sphere. The program supports students in their academic and professional
development as curators, organizers, critics, writers and scholars.
Guest speakers, spring 2010 term:
Vito Acconci,
Mark Bradford, Gregg Bordowitz, Julia Bryan-Wilson, Dan Cameron, Harrell Fletcher, Boris Groys, Renée Green, Maria
Lind, Rick Lowe, Antonio Muntadas, Felicity Scott, John Welchman.

Academy of Fine Arts In Oslo, Norway
Speculation is the process of thinking or meditating
on a subject. The participants at the seminar Oslo Speculations are invited to share the speculations, contemplations
and problems that are basic to or perhaps are the very incentive for an artistic practice
– fundamental issues concerning freedom, sexuality, spirituality, alienation, irrationality, politics, history, the
past, the present and the future.
Oslo Speculations aims to be a different kind of seminar. Rather than
a generic presentation of their practice, we urge the participants to reflect upon the basic issues. What trickered it all?
How do you keep on going? Why do you do, what you do?
We invite the people that we would most want to listen to
ourselves – from the field of contemporary art, but also from other fields such as religion, literature and music. Works
of each participant will be on display during the seminar. As much as a seminar, Oslo Speculations is also a social
event taking in performances, screenings, readings as well as a reactionary kitchen with an experimental bar.
Oslo
Speculations is a collaboration between Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, The Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo / Linus Elmes and Sverre
Gullesen, UKS (Young Artist Society)
Oslo Speculations will take place on the 16-17 April at the UKS gallery, Lakkegata
55D, Oslo.

Hayward Gallery and Serpentine Gallery presents Conference: Deschooling Society - 29 - 30 April 2010
London, Southbank Centre. Two-day
conference brings together international artists, curators, and writers to discuss and debate the changing relationship
between art and education. Speakers have been invited to present critical ideas on collective and participatory practice,
pedagogical experiments and how such art can be understood and discussed.
Deschooling Society takes its title from Ivan
Illich's seminal 1971 book, one of the most influential radical critiques of the education system in Western countries. Issues
at the heart of that critique have been increasingly debated within the art world in recent years, and the subject of education
has attracted renewed attention from artists, curators, and collectives. Pedagogical models are currently being explored,
re-imagined, and deployed by practitioners from around the world in highly diverse projects comprising laboratories, discursive
platforms, temporary schools, participatory workshops, and libraries. Simultaneously, progressive globalization has led to
a revaluing of the collective knowledge and agency of local communities.
The conference is a collaborative event marking
the start of a Hayward Gallery research project culminating in the transformation of the gallery space into an alternative
art school during Summer 2012. It also addresses the urgent issues that have arisen from the Centre for Possible Studies,
part of an ongoing Serpentine Gallery project in the Edgware Road neighbourhood, and is the second part of the Serpentine's
collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art, New York, following the conference Transpedagogy: Contemporary Art and the Vehicles
of Education at MoMA in May 2009.
Speakers include: Christopher Robbins (keynote), Martha Rosler
(keynote), ARTSCHOOL/UK, Lars Bang Larsen, Dave Beech, Claire Bishop, Tania Bruguera, Marcelo Expósito,
Harrell Fletcher, Jeanne Van Heeswijk,
Pablo Helguera, Hannah Hurtzig, Suzanne Lacy,
Carmen Moersch, Nils Norman, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Paul O'Neill, Marion von Osten, Irit Rogoff, Ralph
Rugoff, Terry Smith, Lisa Tickner, Gediminas Urbonas, Mick Wilson.
