Practice as a site for enquiry ll: Hybridity

A one day seminar presented by RMIT Gold and Silversmithing and Ceramics.

Event details

Overview

What are the configurations, associations and strategies that determine and or influence the way contemporary object based practice is articulated today? The seminar is designed as an opportunity to examine how the perimeters of Object based Practice are being tested, developed, challenged and/or contested by those makers researching or practicing in interdisciplinary fields. Organisers are interested in reflecting the breadth of models for framing practice and opening the dialogue around hybrid practice in relation to collaboration, the use of technology, interdisciplinary practice and new and emerging forms in Object based Practice.

Drinks to follow from launch of RMIT Gold and Silversmithing Postgraduate and residency studios and exhibition. School of Art Gallery 5 - 7pm RMIT Building 2, Level B, Bowen Street.
