Conventions in Contemporary Art

Without evoking formal theory, these lectures explore and question ideas and fashions that dominate the current art world. Catherine David and Iwona Blazwick explore the curator's new profile; Jeroen Boomgaard and Koen Brams tackle theory and art; Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby question the relationship between design and art; Bart Lootsma and Camiel van Winkel look at art in public spaces; and J. Wesseling and K. Zijlmans discuss the position of non-western art in the west.
