Clore Auditorium, Tate Britain
London, UK

A half-day Symposium to mark the opening of Tate Britain's new Centenary 
Development <http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/future.htm> and the launch of 
the gallery's 2002 displays of historic and contemporary British art.

At the outset of a new millennium Britain is still a nation obsessed with 
its past. Histories, biographies, period dramas and fictional reworkings of 
historical periods represent the increasingly popular staples of 
television, radio, cinema, and publishing. But the precise nature of the 
relationship between the present and the past remains a complex, and 
frequently contested subject, particularly within the visual arts.

The Presence of the Past aims to discuss connections between the historic 
and the contemporary - an issue that has played a key role in the thinking 
underpinning Tate's new galleries of British art. Speakers include: David 
Starkey, Michael Wood, Cornelia Parker, Tim Marlow, Stephen Poliakoff, Adam 
Phillips and many others.
