SYMPOSIUM: COMMISSIONING AND COLLECTING VARIABLE MEDIA

Free to Contemporary Art Society's National Network Members, £25 non-

The work of artists who use new media art, live art and other  
'variable media' is increasingly being drawn into our national public  
collections. Excellent models exist where major works are acquired or  
where artists are commissioned specifically to create works for  
collections. This symposium offers an opportunity to learn from  
pioneering institutions that have worked with artists. Keynote  
speaker: Benjamin Weil, Chief Curator of LABoral Centro de Arte y  
Creacion Industrial de Gijon, Spain. Other confirmed speakers  
include: Laura Sillars, Programmes Director, FACT; Lisa Panting,  
Director, Picture This; Lois Keidan, Director, Live Art Development  
Agency; Graham Harwood, artist.

Programmed by the Contemporary Art Society's National Network in  
partnership with CRUMB.
