Description
The Agendas initiative at Wimbledon College of Art, is engaged with three linked strands of research:• The study of artist’s voice, the designer’s voice and the practitioner’s voice, both in the specific sense of oral testimony, and in the broader context of cultural, ethical and political representation
• Critical Practice, which engages with the aesthetic constitution of the social bond
• The initiation of debate with constituencies, audiences and fields of research beyond the art and design area
The Agendas Programme, which is led by Dr Malcolm Quinn, Reader in Critical Practice and Bill Furlong, visiting Professor of Fine Art, has a tripartite structure, embracing internal Agendas symposia in connection with the gallery at Wimbledon, events in partnership with Tate Gallery and other major venues in the UK, and regular ‘Venice Agendas’ symposia at the Venice Biennale since 1999.
