DARK PLACES: CORPORATE PERSONAE

at Space Media Arts, 129-131 Mare Street, London E8 3RH
Wednesday 30th May, 6 - 9pm
FREE, but booking required

The Arts Catalyst and SCAN are pleased to present the launch of Dark
Places, a series of works and events developed by The Arts Catalyst and
SCAN that examine territories of science and scientific sites in the UK.
The first in the series, Corporate Personae: 

A seminar on corporate social responsibility and the role artists and
activists, such as Platform and Alasdair Hopwood's With, play in
"identity correction" and interrogating the activities of big business.
Can business ever balance public good with corporate wealth, or does the
balance sheet always win?  How do corporations use concepts of
"healthy", "norma", "good for us" to market pharmaceuticals and
therapies? How do artists critique and challenge the process of
big-business PR?

Speakers include Dan Gretton from Platform, Felicity Mukherjee from NFHC
International Inc, Alasdair Hopwood from With, and artist Lucy Panesar.

A project by Lucy Panesar.
