What is the value of attention?
12 July 2023, 14:00 – 15:15 BST
Online
In a society where distraction is the norm, public art can offer a platform to channel our attention. Drawing on artist John Latham’s notion of ‘delta’ (Δ), a unit of attention, this line of enquiry explores attention as a resource that has the potential to support artists and creative practitioners advance social and political change. What is the value of attention? And how can art add meaning? Join artist, Ahmet Öğüt, and curator, Magdalena Malm to explore these questions from their individual perspectives.
What is the value of attention? will be moderated by Neelika Jayawardane, Associate Professor of English at the State University of New York-Oswego, and a Research Associate at the Visual Identities in Art and Design (VIAD), University of Johannesburg.
This is the first in a series of events curated by UP Projects in partnership with Flat Time House that explore pressing issues facing the public art sector today. You can sign up to this and all
