HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN Festival | Hay-on-Wye on Wednesday 6th June 2012


10:30am | Philosophy Session | State of Innovation

Richard Deacon, Sophia McDougall, Dennis Marks, Julian Spalding. Juliet Gardiner chairs.

 

Patronage has always played a key role in the arts, and in today's culture that comes in the form of state support. But can innovation take place within these walls? Would starving the arts of money be a mutilation of national culture or just possibly make them stronger?

 

Turner Prize-winning sculptor Richard Deacon, outspoken critic and gallerist Julian Spalding, Royal Opera House director Dennis Marks and novelist Sophie McDougall question the role of the state in keeping the arts alive.

 


4:00pm | Art Session | Art and the Artful

Julian Spalding, Andy Holden, Julian Stallabrass. Georgina Adam chairs.


After a century in which art has been driven more by concept than technique, is artistic skill back on the agenda? Would reconciling the art world with the values of craftsmanship be progress, or an empty gesture towards an arcadian fantasy?

 

Provocative critic Julian Spalding, Tate Britain exhibited conceptual artist Andy Holden, and the Courtauld's Julian Stallabrass consider the relationship between art and skill.



5:00pm | Philosophy Session | Con Art

Julian Spalding


Fresh from the success of his book Con Art: Why You Ought to Sell Your Damien Hirsts While You Can, Julian Spalding redefines the notion of conceptual art for the 21st century.
