Sunday 16 September Goldin+Senneby
are organizing the symposium Income and Come Out with Something You Should Know (FR) , Agency (BE), Laurence Duchêne (FR) and Christine Gerrard (UK) . The symposium takes place at Drottningholms Slottsteater 13-18 pm, and tickets are bought through Ticnet.
As an arts symposium it will plug itself on the theater of economy. While the market of performance, instead of goods, has become an objective for transforming the production-based model, the global economy has grasped the performative through advocating connectivity, theatricality, youthfulness, speed, branding, imaging and imagination, and drafting an army of characters into performing who and what counts in the knowledge economy.
Goldin+Senneby has performed these meta-narratives by coupling dramatic production as conceptual framing to “imaginary tactics such as speculation, utopia, magic and theatre.” These tactics including theatricality, narrativity and « trickality » will be expanded to the words and the works of : Agency, a Brussels based artist initiative by Kobe Matthys, which collects and mobilises collective debate on cultural objects or acts derived from lawsuits or controversies around their intellectual property; Laurence Duchêne, activist and economist, co-author of L’Abstraction Matérielle. L’argent au delà de la morale et de l’économie which calls into play the oxymoron of Material Abstraction, Christine Gerrard, Lecturer in English Literature at Oxford, focused on the financial revolution of the 1690′s in its relation to language and literature, and Something you should know : artists and producers today an ongoing seminar conceptualised and organized since 2006 by Patricia Falguières, Elisabeth Lebovici, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, Natasa Petresin-Bachelez within the framework of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris, France.
