Zainub Verjee overview of Art as SocialPractice 2019

OAAG's one day workshop on the ethics and collecting of social practice art. As artists return to the process of art-making versus the tangible art object, institutions need to be able to know how to respond by collecting and supporting this type of art. This workshop will introduce what social practice art is and how it can fit within the current traditional institutional collecting model. Institutions will learn how to collaborate and support these types of artists by collecting their work and incorporating them into their programming including how to properly engage and manage Indigenous art and artefacts in colonial collections. This workshop will address the growing urgency of our stakeholders to understand such emerging collection related practices.
