Following is the mission of the conference.
<<Join artists from across New England and around the world as they
explore interdisciplinarity and contemporary art practices at the first
Goddard College Interdisciplinary Artists Conference. This conference /
retreat will allow participants to expand their core art practices
through a variety of presentations, workshops, discussions, and
restorative activities. This gathering will foster an exchange of
resources and strategies for creating spaces for progressive,
interdisciplinary art-making within an environment that nourishes the
artist intellectually, spiritually and pragmatically.
Based on a participatory model of learning, this event seeks to
actively question the notion of “expert and audience” by inviting all
participants to engage in dialogue as both artists and as citizens.
Participants will be encouraged to share their unique perspective,
present and discuss their own work, and benefit from the feedback of a
supportive audience of peers.
This year’s conference will feature Carol Becker, addressing the
question of the artist as citizen.
The conference will be held at Goddard College, Plainfield, VT, from
August 4th to August 8th 2003.
