The Norwegian Society of Composers and Ultima invite composers, musicians, artists and others with interest in to a two-day seminar investigating the context of art as experience, and the possible reverberations of such experience in society.
The creative arts as an activity confined to and by art communities, and the potential of such activity in the wider society will be addressed. In which fields and by what means is change initiated? Does society accommodate change by art?
We will hear lectures by Alexander Carnera, Das Beckwerk, Goksøyr & Martens, Cecilie Ore, Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere and Hooman Sharifi, who all work within the combined fields of art as autonomous work and art as possible political potential.
