Conspiracy Dwellings
Symposium on Surveillance in Contemporary Art.
This international symposium explores the ways which contemporary art
has addressed the issues associated with state control, surveillance,
past and present at a time of uncertainty when global terrorism
highlights its controversial status. It brings together noted theorists
and art practitioners who explore related topics from South Africa, the
Federal Republic of Germany, the former German Democratic, Republic
Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom from the 80s to the present day.
Please see the attached file for the paper abstracts.
