Transart Institute - Anthologies Assembly - Panel: What Artists Know

11:10-12:30, John Lennon Art and Design Building, LJMU, Lecture Room 1

Andrew Freiband, director of Artists' Literacies Institute, invites students, scholars, thinkers, bystanders, artists, and non-artists alike to sit around together and consider what artists know.

In conversation with artists and authors Clive Cazeaux and Alana Jelinek, we will consider art as knowledge and artists as knowledge producers in relation to economics, science, nature, culture, and more. Can such a framing help artists escape their neoliberal marginalization as entertainers and decorators? Can it help other researchers and knowledge producers expand their fields in meaningful ways? Is it treachery or necessity to ask that artists be useful? What do artists actually know, after all - and how do they know it?

About the Anthologies Assembly: The PhD dedicated Steering Committee has been meeting since last October to plan Transart's first student-led intensive and residency, which bring students together to create connections between each other’s research and practice. The programme the public to join us for a series of talks, workshops, participatory sessions, exchanges, walks, and screenings. For more information.
