> Hi all,
> > We are working on finalising the events which will be publicly
> > advertised in the Museum's events brochure. It's been great to hear
> > back from people so promptly, thanks for your responses.
> Taking people's suggestions on board, as well as the Forum and the
> artist performances, we would also like to propose three informal,
> gallery-based conversations during the first fortnight. My colleague,
> Jasmin Stephens, is suggesting the following programs. They are topics
> that have come out of the discussions and that she feels may interest
> wider audiences.
> The idea is to have three afternoon discussions following the opening
> that involve artists in conversation. Between this and the forum I think
> that everyone has a chance to talk as part of the more formal program!
> > Here is a very brief outline with Jasmin's suggestions for topics and
> > contributors:
> Wednesday 15, Thursday 16 and Friday 17 June, 2.30pm - 3.30pm
> Situation artists reflect on aspects of their practices in a series of
> gallery-based conversations.
> Three Cities with Sarah Goffman, Jeremy Hiah and Egill Saebjornsson
> Idea is to discuss the local 'situation' for artists from a personal
> perspective - there may be similarities and differences that can be
> discussed - but with an awareness that no one artist or exhibition can
> 'sum up' any one place or scene...
> The Role of Archives and Documentation with Koh Nguang How, Anne Kay and
> Jane Polkinghorne
> A discussion of the archivally-based projects in the exhibition as part
> of each artist's practice
> Drawing a Line in the Sand - the ethics and politics of artist-run
> initiatives with Alex Gawronski, Jole Wilcke and Agnes Yit
> Fairly self-explanatory!
> > As time is tight, please let me know your thoughts as soon as you can.
> > The topics and formats can be developed further from here.
> > Jasmin and I are focusing on the publicly advertised events going into
> > the brochure at this point (gallery discussions, forums and artist
> > performances) and once we are through the 7 April deadline, can look
> > at other possibilities. As mentioned, we are also looking forward to
> > some more spontaneous and informal events during the opening fortnight
> > that can be posted on the website. We feel sure too that as
> > Situation's ideas are received by the MCA's audiences over the life of
> > the exhibition, that there will be other events following on from the
> > first couple of weeks, and particularly for the Sydney-based artists,
> > possibilities for events later in the exhibition's run.
> Look forward to hearing from you,
> Best wishes,
> Russell
