ThreeWalls Presents: ARTS ADMINISTRATION SYMPOSIUM
On View: MAY 5, 2007 - May 19, 2007
ThreeWalls is pleased to present The Arts Administration Symposium, running from May 5, 2007 through May 19, 2007. Consisting of an exhibition, panel discussion, film screening, artist-in residence talk, salon conversation, and corresponding Sketchbook, designed by The Green Lantern Press, this symposium will explore where the boundaries of arts administration, curation, and art making exist, blur, and intersect. The symposium will generate ideas and vocabulary to better describe this unique creative practice. Because arts administration often borrows from other languages, that of the curator, art historian, Executive Director, financial officer, or artist, to name a few; the practice lacks its own distinct vocabulary. By inviting professionals in their respective art fields, we hope to create discussion, debate, and agreement as to what distinguishes arts administrative practice. We also aim to define how the administrators role in creating a context influences the production and reception of the work of art itself.
