"When does an artwork begin and end?" @ ICA Philadelphia this Wednesday at 6:30PM

WHENEVER WEDNESDAY
ICA SALON: ART IN TRANSIT /
ART IN FLUX
WITH SHANNON BOWSER, ALEX HUBBARD, AND EDUARDO SARABIA

Wednesday, November 2 @ 6:30pm

Introducing the ICA Salon. Inspired by the exhibitions on view, this season the ICA will host a series of informal conversations about issues relating to medium, process, and the studio. We’ve invited four groups of artists, critics, and curators to gather every other week to talk about their current projects and what is at stake in contemporary art practice. Each salon is loosely organized around a theme aimed at raising further questions and conversation with the audience. The discussion continues over refreshments and picks up again at the next salon.

Where does an artwork begin and end? In this discussion we will take a moment to think about practices that reflect on process and the material conditions of an artwork’s production, while also considering the parameters within which art moves—both inside, outside, and between institutions and systems of capital. Our guests will share their experiences working with art objects in transit, making works that change over time, and finding inspiration in alternative economies.
