A seminar on art collaborations chaired by Áine Phillips on Friday 8 February 2013 from 10am – 5pm

Muscailt NUI Galway and Galway Arts Centre with the Burren College of Art present a national seminar on interdisciplinary artistic collaboration convened by Dr Áine Phillips.

The seminar will present diverse current thinking around artistic collaboration as a process of interconnection and working together towards joint aims that artists increasingly engage in. Presentations will explore sound art and socially engaged practice, film and popular culture, performance, live art and photography. Collaboration has become a tenant of contemporary practice and funding streams and it exemplifies notions of ‘joined up thinking’ and interdisciplinarity which are currently considered important developmental processes in art, culture and social progress. An aim of the event will be to generate networks and connections between all the attendees for the benefit of future possible collaborations!

Presentations will include Rachel Davies, London based film maker and academic, Manuel Vason, London based photographer and live artist, Megs Morley and Tom Flanagan Galway based film artists and Sean Taylor, Limerick based artist. The day will include group and panel discussions. Light refreshments will be provided. The event is free but advance booking is essential through NUIG arts office: fionnuala.gallagher@nuigalway.ie
