Conference – Networked : Dialogue and exchange in the global art ecology – 26.11.11/27.11.11

Networked: Dialogue and Exchange in the Global Art Ecology brings together leading artists, curators, art managers, funders and policy makers from over 40 countries to debate the increasing role of cultural networks in supporting artists and organisations world-wide.

The conference marks the 30 anniversary of the founding of Triangle Network, an international network of artists and organisations around the world, that facilitates dialogue and exchange through workshops, residencies and exhibitions. In 30 years, Triangle has worked with over 70 organisations and 4,200 artists in more than 60 countries across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, USA, Latin America and Australia.

Opening the conference, Triangle Network founders—artist Anthony Caro and collector Robert Loder—will be in conversation with artist and Triangle Trustee Sonya Boyce. This is followed by sessions focusing on a range of case studies and timely questions tackling the principles and ethics that guide cultural networks, as well as some of the opportunities and challenges faced by artists and art organisations around the world.

Led by Alessio Antoniolli, Director of Triangle Network and Gasworks, the conference is held at and sponsored by Bloomberg, London, with support from Arts Collaboratory, Arts Council, England, and Prince Claus Fund.
