    Organisational Inheritance

    Beth Bate (Dundee Contemporary Arts), Sepake Angiama (Iniva), and Nigel Prince (Artes Mundi) join Kirsteen MacDonald for a roundtable discussion sharing strategies for navigating the decentralisation project.     These guests represent three UK arts organisations that were founded or re-developed around the new millennium with core missions to serve historically under-resourced and overlooked communities. Whilst the ideas, assets and personnel that comprise our public infrastructure are tested anew by austerity thinking, this discussion offers distinct and overlapping models for cultivating an outward-looking cultural infrastructure.    Art after Devolution is hosted by Marcus Jack, a curator and writer based between Exeter and Glasgow. His research looks for counternarratives in visual culture through analyses of infrastructure, statehood and socio-economics, with particular emphasis on artists’ film. He lectures in Contemporary Art and Curation at the University of Exeter.

    Art After Devolution: Trailer

    Art after Devolution is a provocation which calls to return our understanding of contemporary art, its production, and exhibition, to the immediate political and economic contexts of our time. The Britain in question is one where provision not limited to funding and infrastructure is unevenly dispersed, and enduring deference to the metropolitan centre continues to instruct our sense of value. Over the course of this series, we’ll unpack these realities through conversation with artists, practitioners, organisational leaders and policy experts. In doing, we hope to offer a polyvocal account of the burdensome inheritance, present challenges, and possible futures of decentralisation. Art after Devolution is hosted by Marcus Jack, a curator and writer based between Exeter and Glasgow. His research looks for counternarratives in visual culture through analyses of infrastructure, statehood and socio-economics, with particular emphasis on artists’ film. He lectures in Contemporary Art and Curation at the University of Exeter. Follow him on socials @marcusfjack or online at MarcusJack.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
