Book signing to follow
The Contemporaries’ mission is to education, enlighten, and inspire with thought-provoking discussions from the fields of science, culture, media, and the arts. Programming is geared toward younger supporters aged 21 to 49.
Award winning artist and photographer Edmund Clark will discuss the issues facing artists who make work about contemporary issues that are hard to see. He will refer to existing and new bodies of work to illustrate the development of original aesthetic strategies to explore (counter) narratives about situations conditioned by censorship, secrecy or denial, shaped by stereotypical public messaging, or concerning sensitive or contentious subjects and protagonists. In doing so he will show how systems of power and control are present in his work and will be showcased in his new book Cosmopolemos.
