Friday, October 12, 2012, 7 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Geballe Room, Townsend Center for the Humanities, Stephens Hall UC Berkeley Pre-registration required The Creative Time Summit (http://creativetime.org/programs/archive/2010/summit/WP/) is an annual conference in New York that brings together cultural producers--including artists, critics, writers, and curators--to discuss how their work engages pressing issues affecting our world. This year, the focus will be on confronting inequity across the globe and the ways in which wealth disparities engender the erosion of democracy. Keynote speakers include cultural critic Slavoj Žižek and multimedia artist Martha Rosler. The 2012 Leonore Annenberg Prize for Art and Social Change will be awarded to Spanish artist and activist Fernando García-Dory. The Arts Research Center and the Curatorial Practice Program at the California College of the Arts are partnering with Creative Time to host a live-streaming of this year's summit. The live-streaming event will provide a collective viewing experience for Bay Area artists, curators, scholars, and activists who are concerned with arts and social change. In addition to seeing the talks and panels from New York, participants will have access to local responses and face-to-face small-group discussions. To pre-register: Individuals who want to take part are asked to submit one paragraph (no more than 500 words) on a keyword associated with one of the summit themes: Inequities, Occupations, Making, or Tactics. This can be any term that moves you, and it may have a range of references. This is not an abstract per se, but a discursive offering to the group to galvanize our collective thinking prior to the live event. You are welcome to include links as well. Paragraphs will be posted on the ARC Muses blog (http://arcdirector.blogspot.com) by October 1, and participants will all read each other's reflections before October 12. This paragraph is your pre-registration; registered participants will receive updated details in advance of the event and will have breakfast and lunch provided.
