Open Space, the SFMOMA blog, and the online journal Art Practical collaborate on a three-part series of conversations considering the survival strategies that artists develop and adopt to gain recognition and financial viability. Utilizing artist Stephanie Syjuco's collaborative project Shadowshop as a jumping-off point, "Shop Talk" will examine the ways artists attempt to re-structure market conditions to support or help further the aesthetic and critical capacities of their work.
This evening's Shop Talk conversation will home in on the most prevailing concerns raised in the March 24 discussion around issues raised by Stephanie Syjuco's collaborative project Shadowshop. Our topic will circulate around the ways artists approach the "production, consumption, and dissemination of their work," and how the public encounters artist projects that address or reflect larger social questions about economy and autonomy.
Hosted and moderated by Patricia Maloney, editor in chief, Art Practical, and Suzanne Stein, community producer and managing editor of Open Space, SFMOMA.
