ONE WEEK BEFORE THE DEADLINE FOR MANIFESTOS

We would like to remind you that the deadline for submitting 'individual manifestos' for the AHM Symposium is Thursday 29th July 2010 (that is next Thursday).

AHM (Sam Ainsley, David Harding and Sandy Moffat) are organising a series of three, one-day symposia with the overall title of, ‘State of Play - Art and Culture in Scotland Today’. The first of these will be at the Gilmorehill Centre, University of Glasgow on Saturday October 9, 2010.

A key element to start the day will be a 'performance' which we describe as ‘Individual Manifestos’ in which artists will have the opportunity to give voice to their wider concerns and ambitions by making a statement about where they feel visual art stands today and what the future might hold.

Then there will be four keynote presentations, each followed by in-depth discussion.


Invitation.

You are invited to submit a text for a one-minute, spoken, personal manifesto as part of a ‘performance’. We believe that this is a crucial element of the day; an opportunity for artists to give voice to their wider concerns and ambitions by making a statement about where they feel visual art stands today and what the future might hold. The aim will be to have 20/30 artists participating.

If you would like to participate in the ‘performance’, please submit a text for a one-minute, spoken, personal manifesto or for further information please email ahmglasgow@googlemail.com
